Sushma Swaraj ji's demise personally saddens me. She was an able politician, administrator & a good orator. Her personality was very friendly, even with members of opposition. I pray to nature to give her family the strength to cope with this loss.

Passing away of Sushma Swaraj is an irreparable loss. People of the country will remember her contribution for a long time. Whenever any Indian got into trouble, didi took care of it herself, even when it came to the return of a single nurse from abroad.
