Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and other senior leaders from across the country paid their respects to the late former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at his residence in Delhi.

Singh, the architect of India's economic reforms, passed away on Thursday night at Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). He was 92 years old.

PM Modi, Amit Shah, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Congress parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi, President Droupadi Murmu, and other prominent leaders arrived at Singh's residence in the national capital on Friday to offer their condolences.
