The Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF), Abdul Qayoom Wani, has paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India, describing him as a "true statesman" and a "beacon of secularism" who championed unity and inclusiveness throughout his tenure.
In his tribute, Wani acknowledged Dr. Singh’s exceptional leadership, which was instrumental in promoting peace, harmony, and brotherhood among India’s diverse communities. "Dr. Singh embodied the spirit of unity. His leadership was not just about governance but about fostering dialogue and understanding between communities. He understood the importance of listening to people, especially in times of conflict," Wani said.
Dr. Singh, who served as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014, was known for his unwavering commitment to secular values, even in the face of challenging political landscapes. His calm demeanor and patient approach to governance earned him respect across the political spectrum. Wani emphasized that Dr. Singh’s legacy was particularly significant for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, where his leadership offered hope and stability.
"His ability to empathize with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and his willingness to engage in dialogue with various factions, made him a trusted leader in the region. He was a calming presence at a time when the state needed peace the most," Wani remarked.
In a period marked by increasing polarization, Dr. Singh’s vision of a secular and united India stood as a beacon of hope. Wani highlighted that the former Prime Minister's wisdom and calmness guided the nation through its most difficult moments. "His leadership proved that through patience, understanding, and dialogue, even the most complex issues can be resolved peacefully," he added.
As the nation remembers Dr. Singh’s immense contributions to India’s social and political fabric, Wani called on future generations to carry forward his legacy. "May his legacy continue to inspire us all to uphold the values of peace, coexistence, and unity."
The tribute concluded with Wani’s deep respect for Dr. Singh's vision of a united India and his unwavering dedication to the cause of secularism and harmony across all communities. "His memory will forever remain a guiding light for all those who believe in peace and inclusivity," Wani said.
