Modi wrote with a heavy heart, “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.”

The Prime Minister met his mother for the last time at the hospital where she had been admitted on Wednesday.

Deeply saddened to hear about the demise of #HeerabenModi, mother of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji. My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family members and friends during this hour of grief. #OmShanti.
