“I had spoken to Sushma Ji day before yesterday and she had complimented me on passing of triple Talaq Bill for which she was a great support. Yesterday, she had called to express her happiness on the initiative to remove Article 370,” he added on Twitter.
West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee: Deeply saddened, shocked at sudden passing away of Sushma Swaraj ji. I knew her since 1990s. Even though our ideologies differed, we shared many cordial times in Parliament. An outstanding politician, leader, good human being. Will miss her. Condolences to her family/admirers.
