New Delhi, December 30
The mortal remains of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Hiraben, who passed away here early on Friday, were consigned to flames at a crematorium in Gandhinagar.
She was 100, and had been admitted to the hospital about three days ago. PM Modi had visited her in the hospital day before. PM Modi arrived at the airport in Ahmedabad in the morning and went straight to the house of his younger brother. There he offered floral tributes to his mother and bowed down at her feet. Later, PM Modi shouldered her mortal remains on way to the cremation ground for the last rites. Her mortal remains were consigned to flames by the prime minister and his brothers.
