Gah, a village in Pakistan’s Punjab province, is mourning the loss of former PM Manmohan Singh. It was in this tiny village that Singh spent his childhood, before Partition forced his family to relocate to India.

Pakistan on Friday paid tributes to former PM Manmohan Singh who passed away on Thursday at AIIMS. In a post on X, Pakistani Foreign Minister said that Manmohan Singh will be remembered for his approach to regional issues.

Manmohan Singh was born in Gah, a village in Punjab, which is now in Pakistan. On his death, residents from his ancestral village paid tribute to India's former PM.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his respects to the former prime minister on Friday (December 27) as the country began a seven-day period of mourning for its “reluctant king”, a title the soft-spoken Singh earned during his first stint as the country's leader.

For an emotional reunion with ex-PM Dr Manmohan Singh, Raja Mohammad Ali arrived in Delhi in May 2008 and the two shared a heartwarming embrace, followed by symbolic gifts.

From a small village in undivided Punjab to Cambridge University and the corridors of power in New Delhi, Dr. Manmohan Singh's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
