India announces seven days of mourning for ex-PM Manmohan Singh

Al Jazeera  

Singh, one of the architects of India’s economic liberalisation in the early 1990s, held office from 2004 to 2014. India has announced seven days of mourning and a state funeral for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was hailed as one of the architects of the country’s economic liberalisation in the early 1990s. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed Singh, who held office from 2004 to 2014, as one of the country’s “most distinguished leaders”, while The Times of India newspaper ran a front-page tribute describing him as the “man who liberated India’s dreams”. India’s cricket team paid respects to Singh on Friday, wearing black armbands as they took to the ground in Melbourne to battle hosts Australia in the fourth Test.
