The NIA has requested the Delhi High Court to conduct a private hearing in its plea seeking the death penalty for separatist leader Yasin Malik. Malik, appearing via video from Tihar Jail, said he has been under “psychological torture” for three years awaiting the verdict.
Yasin Malik told the Delhi High Court that following his arrest in 1990, he was engaged by six successive governments, from VP Singh to Manmohan Singh, to discuss the Kashmir issue and explore possible resolutions.
Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh passed away at 92 due to age-related complications. A revered economist and a significant political figure, his life was marked by resilience and dedication despite facing substantial humiliation during his career. Singh’s legacy includes transformative economic reforms and a steadfast commitment to India’s progress, earning respect both nationally and globally.
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who passed away Yesterday (Dec 26), aged 92 in the national capital, had a brush with the justice system when he was summoned as an accused in a coal block allocation case. The Supreme Court, however, intervened and stayed the directive. Singh, an astute economist and a stalwart politician, questioned the absence of the mandated sanction for prosecuting public officials like him, and denied any criminality in his decision concerning the coal block allocation.
