PM Modi, Advani turn emotional as they pay last respect Sushma

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP veteran L K Advani on Wednesday turned emotional as they visited the home of former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj to pay their last respects.
Sushma, who passed away on Tuesday at AIIMS following a cardiac arrest, was BJP’s most prominent woman face. She was the youngest cabinet minister at 25 when she joined the Haryana government in 1977 and the first woman Chief Minister of Delhi.
After paying his respects to Sushma Swaraj, Prime Minister Modi expressed his condolences to her daughter Bansuri Swaraj and spoke to her husband Swaraj Kaushal.
While talking to Sushma Swaraj’s husband, Swaraj Kaushal, the Prime Minister was seen holding back his tears as he saw Sushma in a casket.
On Tuesday after Sushma’s demise, Modi in a series of tweets condoled her demise, saying it was a personal loss for him and she will be remembered fondly for everything that she’s done for India.
“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,” he said.
