Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Heeraben Modi, who was admitted to a hospital in Ahmedabad, passed away at 100.
“Smt Hiraba Modi passed away on 30/12/2022, at 3:39 am, during the treatment at UN Mehta Heart Hospital,” the hospital where she had been admitted since Wednesday said in a statement.
Informing about her demise, the Prime Minister said, “A glorious century rests at the feet of God.”
PM posted a heartfelt tweet early Friday morning and wrote, “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.”
In another tweet, PM Modi recalled his visit to his mother on her 100th birthday this year.
“When I met her on her 100th birthday, she said one thing, which is always remembered that work with intelligence, live life with purity, that is, work with intelligence and live life with purity,” PM Modi said.
