New Delhi, December 30
BJP leaders on Friday paid tributes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Hiraben, who passed away in Ahmedabad two days after she was hospitalised.
“It is very sad to know about the demise of Prime Minister @narendramodiji’s respected Mataji Hira Ba. Mother is the first friend and teacher of a person’s life, the pain of losing whom is undoubtedly the biggest pain in the world,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted.
The struggles faced by her to nurture the family are a role model for all, he said.
“Her sacrificial ascetic life will always be in our memory. The entire nation stands with Prime Minister Modi and his family in this hour of grief. The prayers of crores of people are with you,” said Shah, a close associate of Modi for over four decades.
