Tributes pour in as PM’s mother Heeraben Modi dies: ‘void impossible to fill’

As Heeraben was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, PM Modi rushed to Ahmedabad and after an hour and a half returned to Delhi.

“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 Moi tweeted at 6.02am on Friday.

“When I met her on her 100th birthday, she said one thing — work with intelligence, live life with purity,” PM Modi remembered.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a very close relationship with Heeraben and expressed his love for his mother on several occasions. Ahead of the Gujarat election this month, PM Modi met Heeraben at her residence.

On Heeraben’s last birthday on June 18, PM Modi posted a blog capturing the emotions that he feels for his mother. “Today, I feel extremely happy and fortunate to share that my mother Smt. Heeraba is entering her hundredth year. This is going to be her birth centenary year. If my father had been alive, he too would have celebrated his 100th birthday last week. 2022 is a special year as my mother’s centenary year is starting, and my father would have completed his,” PM Modi wrote.

PM Modi was supposed to be in Kolkata to flag off West Bengal’s first vande Bhaeat train and a new line of the Kolkata Metro.
