Sushma Swaraj Demise: Sonia Gandhi Pay Last Respects

Sushma Swaraj, the senior BJP leader and former foreign minister, passed away on Tuesday night in Delhi. One of the most prominent women faces in the Indian Politics, Swaraj took her last breathe on August 6 at AIIMS in the national capital. The BJP veteran, who suffered a massive heart attack, was 67. A star minister during Modi government's first stint, Swaraj did not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and chose to sit out of the government this year on account of her health. After PM Modi's swearing-in ceremony last month, Sushma Swaraj wrote an emotional message on Twitter, thanking PM Narendra Modi for giving her the opportunity to hold the office for five years.
