Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a moving tribute to his mother Heeraben Modi who died in the early hours of Friday at the age of 99. “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,” the Prime Minister tweeted this morning informing his mother’s death.

Also included was a picture of his mother. She was admitted on Tuesday night to the UN Mehta Heart Hospital in Ahmedabad, where she passed away at 3.30 am, according to a statement. Gandhinagar will receive the body of the woman.
