Diljit urged the youth, including himself, to take inspiration from Singh’s dignified conduct and learn from his example.
Manmohan Singh’s political journey spanned decades, with some of his most significant contributions coming during his time as Finance Minister from 1991 to 1996.
It was under his leadership that India underwent major economic reforms that helped shape the country’s modern economy. Later, as the 13th Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014, Singh navigated the country through economic challenges, earning respect for his steady leadership.
Singh’s tenure as Prime Minister is particularly remembered for his calm demeanor during turbulent times and his role in advancing India’s global standing.
After stepping down in 2014, following the Congress-led UPA’s defeat in the general elections, he retired from active politics, leaving behind a legacy of reform and resilience.
