Former Prime Minister and senior Congress leader Manmohan Singh passes away at 92

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh passed away on Thursday at the age of 92. The senior Congress leader had been admitted to AIIMS Delhi in a critical condition on Thursday evening after his health deteriorated. Singh retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier this year — ending a 33 year stint within the Upper House of Parliament. 

Sources told Mint that the senior Congress leader had breathed his last at the hospital on Thursday evening. Priyanka Gandhi and other leaders from across party lines have also arrived at AIIMS Delhi earlier in the evening. AIIMS Delhi also shared a statement indicating that the former politician had passed away amid treatment for “age-related medical conditions” on Thursday night. 

"He was being treated for age-related medical conditions and had a sudden loss of consciousness at home on 26 December 2024. Resuscitative measures were started immediately at home. He was brought to the Medical Emergency at AIIMS, New Delhi at 8:06 PM. Despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9:51 PM,” the hospital said in an official statement.
