प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi की माताश्री, हीरा बा के निधन से मुझे गहरी वेदना हुई है। एक माँ का निधन किसी भी व्यक्ति के जीवन में ऐसी शून्यता लाता है, जिसकी भरपाई असंभव है। दुख की इस घड़ी में प्रधानमंत्रीजी और उनके पूरे परिवार के प्रति मैं अपनी संवेदना व्यक्त करता हूँ। ॐ शांति! — Rajnath Singh (@rajnathsingh) December 30, 2022

In Heera Ben, not just PM @narendramodi ji but an entire nation has lost a mother.

She stood for a set of values that we see glimpses of in PM Modi- humility, sacrifice & unflinching commitment.

I pray that the departed soul may find a place in the heavenly abode of Prabhu Ram pic.twitter.com/wZPBZiml8K — Shehzad Jai Hind (@Shehzad_Ind) December 30, 2022

'A glorious century rests at the feet of God': PM Modi tweets

PM Modi mourned the death of his mother in a series of tweets. He wrote in Hindi, "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."

"When I met her on his 100th birthday, he 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," he further said.

After the unfortunate demise of his mother, PM Modi left for Ahmedabad where his mother was admitted. Initially, he was supposed to flag off Vande Bharat train in Howrah, Kolkata & other developmental works of railways and under Namami Gange in West Bengal. But now, he will be doing so through video conferencing, according to reports.
