Remembering Sushma Ji's tenure as the External Affairs Minister, the PM said, "I can’t forget the manner in which Sushma Ji worked tirelessly as EAM in the last 5 years. Even when her health was not good, she would do everything possible to do justice to her work and remain up to date with matters of her Ministry. The spirit and commitment was unparalleled."

Shri Modi also said that Sushma Ji’s demise was a personal loss and she will be remembered fondly for everything that she’s done for India.
