Prime Minister Narendra Modi today expressed deep pain and sadness over the
death of Kamla Advani, wife of BJP veteran LK Advani, saying she had always inspired and motivated party workers.
"Deeply pained & saddened by Kamla Advani ji's demise. She always inspired & motivated Karyakartas & was LK Advani ji's pillar of strength," PM Modi tweeted.
"I recall my many interactions with Kamla Advani ji. My thoughts are with the Advani family in this hour of grief. May her soul rest in peace," he added.
83-year-old Kamla Advani died today at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) due to heart failure.
Sources close to the family said she complained of uneasiness and breathlessness and was rushed to the AIIMS where doctors tried to revive her but in vain.
She had been suffering from age-related problems for some time and was on wheelchair for the last few months.
