Congress and former President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, died at the Army
hospital in Delhi on Monday. The elder statesman and one of the most respected
politicians of the country was 84-year old.
Mukharjee was tested positive for
coronavirus and he was in coma after a brain surgery earlier this month. This
morning, his health reportedly deteriorated. He was shocked soon after he knew
about his severe lungs infections, sources from the Army's Research and
Referral Hospital had said. Former President was admitted to hospital on August
10 and had surgery the same day for the removal of a clot in the brain. He had
tested positive for COVID-19 in hospital. He developed a lung infection and a
renal dysfunction over the past few days, the doctors said. PM Modi was among
the first to pay tribute, saying he was blessed to have Pranab Mukherjee's
guidance since he took office. Home Minister Amit Shah expressed deep anguish
over the death of former President Pranab Mukherjee, saying he has left a huge
void in the Indian polity.
Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi said, "With great sadness, the nation receives the news of the unfortunate demise of our former President Shri Pranab Mukherjee. I join the country in paying homage to him”. The home minister said Pranab Mukherjee's life will always be cherished for his impeccable service and indelible contribution to the motherland.
