Prime Minister Narendra Modi has left for Gandhinagar after his mother Hiraben passed away at a hospital in Ahmedabad on Friday. She was 100.
She will be cremated at Sector 30 crematorium in Gandhinagar.
PM Modi, who was scheduled to launch the developmental projects in West Bengal, including the meet of the National Ganga Council, may join the events via video conferencing, according to sources.
A bulletin from the U.N. Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre, where she was admitted on Wednesday after her health deteriorated, informed the news of her demise.
“Hiraben Modi passed away on 30/12/2022 at 3.30 a.m. during the treatment at U.N. Mehta Heart Hospital”, the medical bulletin said.
Informing about her death, the Prime Minister posted a heartfelt tweet, “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.”
PM Modi had reached Ahmedabad from Delhi on Wednesday afternoon and visited the hospital to meet his mother. He had remained at the hospital for more than an hour and had also spoken to doctors at the hospital, a government-funded autonomous medical facility.
Hiraben, also called Hiraba, lived at Raysan village near Gandhinagar city with PM Modi’s younger brother Pankaj Modi. The prime minister regularly visited Raysan and spent time with his mother during most of his Gujarat visits.
Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Bhupesh Baghel expressed their condolences over the demise of Prime Minister’s mother.
