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.

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.
