Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his grief on the sad demise of Smt. Sushma Swaraj. The PM said, "A glorious chapter in Indian politics comes to an end. India grieves the demise of a remarkable leader who devoted her life to public service and bettering lives of the poor. Sushma Swaraj Ji was one of her kind, who was a source of inspiration for crores of people."

The PM further said that Sushma Ji was a prolific orator and outstanding Parliamentarian. "She was admired and revered across party lines. She was uncompromising when it came to matters of ideology and interests of the BJP, whose growth she immensely contributed to", he added.

The PM also termed Sushma Swaraj Ji as an excellent administrator. He said that Sushma Ji set high standards in every Ministry she handled. "She played a key role in bettering India’s ties with various nations. As a Minister we also saw her compassionate side, helping fellow Indians who were in distress in any part of the world", the PM said.

Remembering Sushma Ji's tenure as the External Affairs Minister, the PM said, "I can’t forget the manner in which Sushma Ji worked tirelessly as EAM in the last 5 years. Even when her health was not good, she would do everything possible to do justice to her work and remain up to date with matters of her Ministry. The spirit and commitment was unparalleled."

Shri Modi also said that Sushma Ji’s demise was a personal loss and she will be remembered fondly for everything that she’s done for India.

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has highlighted the transformative role played by women in the journey towards a developed India, underlining the government’s focus on women-led development over the past 11 years.

The Prime Minister said that our mothers, sisters and daughters have seen times when they had to face difficulties at every step. But today they are not only participating actively in the resolution of a developed India, but are also setting examples in every field from education to business. Shri Modi further added that the successes of Nari Shakti in the last 11 years are a matter of pride for all citizens.

The Prime Minister noted that the NDA Government has redefined women-led development through a series of impactful initiatives. These include ensuring dignity through the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, financial inclusion via Jan Dhan accounts, and empowerment at the grassroots level.

He cited Ujjwala Yojana as a milestone that brought smoke-free kitchens to several homes. He also highlighted how MUDRA loans have enabled lakhs of women to become entrepreneurs and pursue their dreams independently. The provision of houses in women’s names under the PM Awas Yojana has also made a remarkable impact on their sense of security and empowerment.

The Prime Minister also recalled the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign, which he described as a national movement to protect the girl child.

Shri Modi affirmed that in all sectors- including science, education, sports, StartUps, and the armed forces-women are excelling and inspiring several people.

The Prime Minister shared these remarks through a series of posts on X;

"हमारी माताओं-बहनों और बेटियों ने वो दौर भी देखा है, जब उन्हें कदम-कदम पर मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ता था। लेकिन आज वे ना सिर्फ विकसित भारत के संकल्प में बढ़-चढ़कर भागीदारी निभा रही हैं, बल्कि शिक्षा और व्यवसाय से लेकर हर क्षेत्र में मिसाल कायम कर रही हैं। बीते 11 वर्षों में हमारी नारीशक्ति की सफलताएं देशवासियों को गौरवान्वित करने वाली हैं।
