The final journey of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh commenced on Saturday morning as his mortal remains were carried from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters to Nigambodh Ghat for the last rites.
Earlier in the day, Singh’s body was brought to the AICC headquarters from his residence at 3, Motilal Nehru Road, around 9:00 AM. Leaders, party members, and supporters gathered to pay their respects to the revered statesman. The flower-adorned vehicle carrying his mortal remains left the venue amidst chants of “Manmohan Singh Amar Rahe,” reflecting the deep sorrow and admiration for his legacy.
Senior Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi, were present to honor the former Prime Minister. His wife, Gursharan Kaur, and one of his daughters also offered floral tributes, bidding a poignant farewell.
Meanwhile, preparations were completed at Nigambodh Ghat, where Dr. Singh’s funeral will be conducted with full state honors at 11:45 AM, marking the end of an era in Indian politics.
