Guwahati: Heeraben Modi, the mother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was laid to rest in Gandhinagar today morning. PM Modi, who reached Gujarat early this morning, performed the last rites. Heeraben passed away at the age of 100.
She breathed her last at around 3.30 am. She was admitted to U N Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre in Ahmedabad earlier this week due to health issues.
Informing about her demise, the Prime Minister posted a heartfelt tweet early Friday morning, “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 Modi recalled the time he visited his mother, who turned 100 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 tweeted.
