MUMBAI: Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare on Friday condoled the death of former prime minister Manmohan Singh and said he always prioritised the welfare of the country and society.
“Those who are born have to die, but some leave memories and their legacy behind. Singh gave a new direction to the country’s economy,” Hazare told PTI in his native village in Maharashtra’s Ahilyanagar district.
Hazare recalled his agitation against corruption during Singh’s tenure in the early 2010s. The former PM invited him for talks and took quick decisions, said the octogenarian activist.
