Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Friday condoled the death of former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh saying the former PM's vision has inspired generations to aim higher and do more.

"When Dr Manmohan Singh became the Finance Minister in 1991, India's economy was in a dire state. The Berlin Wall had just fallen, the Cold War had ended, and the economic power of communist China was beginning to emerge. At that time, Dr Manmohan Singh implemented a policy of liberalisation to break the constraints imposed on Indian industries by previous Congress governments. It is also important to acknowledge that he had the support of leaders like Prime Minister Narasimha Rao during this critical period," Raj Thackeray said on X.
