Manmohan Singh's ancestral village remembers 'Mohna', the village boy who never returned, became PM next door

Manmohan Singh was born on September 26, 1932, in Gah village of Punjab, which now falls in Pakistan. After the partition, his family moved to India in 1947. Surprisingly, the former PM's ancestral village in Pakistan's Gah has kept the pre-partition Sikh house preserved as a community centre. As the news of Singh's demise spread, local residents of the village held a meeting to condole the death of 'village boy Manmohan who became prime minister next door'. It is being reported that Manmohan Singh's friends used to call him 'Mohna'.
