Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Heeraben has passed away. She breathed her last at a hospital in Ahmedabad early this morning. She was 100. In an emotional tweet, Prime Minister said that a glorious century now rests at the feet of God.
Paying tribute to his mother, Mr Modi said that he felt the presence of a trinity in his mother which symbolizes the journey of an ascetic, a selfless Karmayogi and a life dedicated to values.
Recalling his meeting with his mother on her 100th birthday, the Prime Minister said that she encouraged him to work with intelligence and live a life with purity.
During a 2015 town hall session with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in San Jose, Prime Minister Modi had remembered the difficulties his mother endured to bring up her children.
