Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader expressed deep condolences over the demise of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, a renowned economist stating that his death is an irreparable loss not only to India but also to the global economy.

Highlighting Dr. Singh’s pivotal role during India’s 1991 economic crisis, Khader noted, “At a time when India was grappling with severe financial turmoil, Dr. Singh’s visionary leadership steered the nation towards economic recovery.
