LK Advani And His Daughter In Tears, Pay Tribute To Sushma Swaraj

 Calling her one of his closest colleagues, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran L.K. Advani on Wednesday mourned the death of senior party leader Sushma Swaraj.

He recalled that when he was the President of the BJP in the eighties, she was a promising young activist who he had inducted into the team.

"And over the years, she became one of the most popular and prominent leaders of our party -- in fact, a role model for women leaders," he said in a statement.
