Dr. Manmohan Singh Remembered as a Devoted Family Man by Nephew<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kolkata: As the nation mourns the loss of former Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, his nephew Gurdeep Singh, residing in Kolkata, fondly recalls the late statesman\u2019s unwavering dedication to family despite the demands of his illustrious career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe was my maternal uncle and my mother\u2019s elder brother. Our relationship with him was as normal and cordial as any family, even when he held important portfolios, including that of Prime Minister,\u201d Gurdeep Singh shared with IANS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gurdeep, whose 85-year-old mother Govind Kaur is Dr. Singh\u2019s younger sister, reminisced about the former Prime Minister\u2019s constant efforts to stay connected with family. He recalled a particularly poignant time in 2004 when his father was unwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt that point, my uncle called me regularly despite his busy schedule to enquire about my father\u2019s condition. After my father passed away, he immediately came to Kolkata to support us. He was then the Prime Minister of India,\u201d Gurdeep shared, underscoring Dr. Singh\u2019s compassionate nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even as the head of the nation, Dr. Singh prioritized family bonds. Gurdeep recounted a touching moment from September this year when he facilitated a video call between Dr. Singh and his mother. \u201cThat was a truly nostalgic moment for all of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While some family members have already traveled to Delhi, Gurdeep expressed regret that his mother could not attend due to health concerns. \u201cShe was very keen to go, but her medical condition doesn\u2019t permit it. I will be leaving for New Delhi on Saturday morning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Manmohan Singh\u2019s legacy extends beyond his political achievements to his deep familial warmth and humility, leaving behind cherished memories for those closest to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr. Manmohan Singh Remembered as a Devoted Family Man by Nephew Kolkata: As the nation mourns the loss of former Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, his nephew Gurdeep Singh, residing in Kolkata, fondly recalls the late statesman\u2019s unwavering dedication to family despite the demands of his illustrious career. \u201cHe was my maternal uncle and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20818,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"\n
