New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Heeraben Modi has passed away at the age of 99. She was hospitalised a couple of days back when PM Modi had paid him visit in Ahmedabad.

According to statement by a hospital, "She passed away on 30th December at 3:39 AM during the treatment at UN Mehta Heart Hospital."

Heeraben Modi used to live with PM Modi’s younger brother - Pankaj Modi - at Raysan village near Gandhinagar.

"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 posted a heartfelt tribute informing about her death.



in June this year, PM Modi had written a blog on her mother’s 90th birthday. In the blog, PM Modi had talked about various aspects of his mother life which "shaped his mind, personality and still confidence."

"This is going to be her birth centenary year. If my father had been alive, he too would have celebrated his 100th birthday last week. 2022 is a special year as my mother's centenary year is starting, and my father would have completed his," he had written in the blog post.

In almost every visit to Gujarat, PM Modi had paid a visit to his mother in Gandhinagar.
