Former Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj Passes Away

The senior former BJP right hand and Foreign Minister Sushma breathed her last today. Her last post on Twitter was about thanking the Prime Minister for his bold move for scrapping Article 370. Swaraj, the minister who was a popular face of the party had withdrawn from the elections this year. Last year itself she had announced her decision owing to her fragile health.

She was the most millennial of all the ministers, with a prompt course of action taken at every trouble. Whoever tweeted of their troubles, Sushma was there to the rescue every time. She shut down trolls with an iron fist, and always kept work over anything else. She was tagged by Washington post as the super mom of India, and rightly said, she was the rescuer. The most followed politician in India, she was someone who the youth could relate to. An amazing lady with wit, we lost her today, as she breathed her last at AIIMS Delhi earlier today.

श्रीमती सुषमा स्वराज के निधन से बहुत दुःख हुआ है। देश ने अपनी एक अत्यंत प्रिय बेटी खोई है। सुषमा जी सार्वजनिक जीवन में गरिमा, साहस और निष्ठा की प्रतिमूर्ति थीं। लोगों की सहायता के लिए वे हमेशा तत्पर रहती थीं। उनकी सेवाओं के लिए सभी भारतीय उन्हें सदैव याद रखेंगे—राष्ट्रपति कोविन्द

A glorious chapter in Indian politics comes to an end. India grieves the demise of a remarkable leader who devoted her life to public service and bettering lives of the poor. Sushma Swaraj Ji was one of her kind, who was a source of inspiration for crores of people.

I’m shocked to hear about the demise of Sushma Swaraj Ji, an extraordinary political leader, a gifted orator & an exceptional Parliamentarian, with friendships across party lines.

My condolences to her family in this hour of grief.

May her soul rest in peace.

Om Shanti 🙏
