The last rites of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be held today at 11:45 AM at Delhi's Nigambodh Ghat, with tributes pouring in from across the nation and the world.

History will be kinder to me than the contemporary media or, for that matter, the Opposition in Parliament,” Manmohan Singh famously said on January 3, 2014 at the last press conference he addressed before stepping down as Prime Minister after being in office for ten long years.

As the country grieves the passing of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, his last rites are being performed today at Nigambodh Ghat, a public cremation ground in Delhi, with complete state honors. Many politicians are expected to attend the funeral later today.
