Manmohan Singh Funeral Live Updates: The last rites of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be performed at Delhi’s Nigambodh Ghat crematorium on Saturday, December 28, at 11:45 am, the Union Home Ministry announced on Friday. Dr Singh, 92, passed away on Thursday night at All Indi Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. He served as India’s 13th Prime Minister and was the first Sikh to hold the position, leading the Congress-led UPA government from 2004 to 2014.
"It has been decided by the Government that State funeral will be accorded to Dr. Manmohan Singh. The funeral will take place at 11:45 AM on 28h December, 2024 at Nigambodh Ghat, New Delhi," the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a statement on Friday.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was rushed to AIIMS, New Delhi, on Thursday evening at 8:06 pm. Doctors tried to save him but could not revive him. He was declared dead at 9:51 pm, the hospital said in a statement.
Dr. Singh retired from active politics after the Congress lost the 2014 Lok Sabha elections to the BJP. His last public appearance was in the Rajya Sabha in August 2023, where he was a sitting member. Ex-PM is survived by his wife Gursharan Kaur, a history professor, and three daughters.
Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP), called Dr. Manmohan Singh’s passing a “personal loss.” In a heartfelt statement, she said, “For me, Dr. Manmohan Singh’s death is a deeply personal loss. He was my friend, philosopher, and guide.”

Manmohan Singh’s Demise Live: ‘Deliberate Insult’, Congress Slams Centre Over Funeral At Nigambodh Ghat
The Congress party criticized the central government on Friday for conducting the last rites of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at Nigambodh Ghat, calling it a "deliberate insult" to India's first Sikh Prime Minister.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh expressed disappointment over the decision, questioning why a more suitable location for cremation and a memorial was not considered.
"Earlier this morning, the Congress President had written to the Prime Minister, suggesting that the cremation of the former Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, take place at a location where a memorial could be built to honour his legacy. The people of our country are simply unable to understand why the Government of India could not find a location for his cremation and memorial that is befitting of his global stature, the record of outstanding achievements, and exemplary service to the nation for decades. This is nothing but a deliberate insult to the first Sikh Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh," Jairam Ramesh posted on X.
