PM says: “When I met her on her 100th birthday, she said one thing which I always remember: work with intelligence, live life with purity”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother, Hiraben, passed away at a hospital in Ahmedabad early on Friday.
A bulletin from the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre, where she was admitted on Wednesday after her health deteriorated, informed the news of her demise on Friday morning. She breathed her last around 3.30 a.m.
The Prime Minister took to Twitter to announce that his mother was no more. “A glorious century rests at the feet of God… In Maa I have always felt that trinity, which contains the journey of an ascetic, the symbol of a selfless Karmayogi and a life committed to values.”
Posting her picture, he added, “When I met her on her 100th birthday, she said one thing which I always remember: work with intelligence, live life with purity”.
The Prime Minister has visited the hospital on Wednesday when she was admitted there after her condition worsened.
On Friday, after announcing her passing, the Prime Minister flew down to Ahmedabad to pay the last respects and attend the funeral in Gandhinagar. Her last rites were performed in Gandhinagar in the presence of family members.
Mr. Modi and his younger brother Pankaj Modi, with whom the late Hiraba lived, shouldered their mother’s bier. The Prime Minister performed the last rites with other family members standing by him.
