SRINAGAR: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti Friday paid tributes to former prime minister Manmohan Singh, saying his contributions to the country and his values of humility, integrity, and inclusivity will continue to inspire generations to come.
Mufti and her party paid floral tributes to the former PM at the party headquarters here, where a condolence meeting was also held.
Mufti described Singh as the architect of modern India’s economic transformation, recalling his visionary leadership during the liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation reforms that reshaped India in the early 1990s.
“Singh ushered India into a new era, setting the stage for growth and prosperity. From bringing bread and butter to the doorstep of the poorest through schemes like NREGA and the Food Security Act to securing the landmark nuclear deal, and AADHAR, his contributions have touched every Indian,” she said.
She said that in 2002, when PDP-Congress were in talks for government formation in J-K, Sonia Gandhi sent him to Kashmir and that was when she met him for the first time.
