Leaders and politicians pay homage to India’s former prime minister, Manmohan Singh

Associated Press  

NEW DELHI — Authorities in India have declared a seven-day mourning period to honor Manmohan Singh, officials said Friday, as politicians and public paid tributes to the country’s former prime minister widely regarded as the architect of India’s economic reform program. Later, Modi in a video message said Singh’s life “was a reflection of his honesty and simplicity.” “He saved the country from an economic crisis by providing a road towards a new economy. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh was prime minister for 10 years and leader of the Congress Party in the Parliament’s upper house, earning a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. Singh was reelected in 2009, but his second term as prime minister was clouded by financial scandals and corruption charges over the organization of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
