A village in Pakistan mourns Manmohan’s death

Local people credit Singh being from the village for the renovation of the school, and say there was some talk about naming it after the Indian politician.Singh’s rise in India prompted local authorities to concentrate on the development of the village, they believe.He shifted to Chakwal after class 4.Shortly before Partition, the family moved to Amritsar, according to the villagers.Singh invited one of his friends, Raja Muhammad Ali, to visit him in Delhi in 2008. Ali died in 2010, and so did a couple of other friends in the years that followed.’Mohna’ never came back to Gah and finally the news of his passing arrived, severing the bond with the village.”Dr Manmohan Singh could not come to Gah in his lifetime. But now when he is no more, we want that someone from his family should come and pay a visit to this village,” the schoolteacher said.
