Was deeply shocked yesterday night when I realised that Smt Sushma Swaraj Ji is no more. It is deeply saddening that a legendary leader like her could leave at a possibly pre mature age.
She played numerous roles in a career which started very young a student leader, the JP movement activist , Lawyer, part of George Fernandez Jis legal defence team Harayana party chief, Rajya Sabha member, Union minister in 1996 as the information and broadcasting minister, once again a cabinet minister in 2003 managing the parliamentary and health and family welfare portfolio, then the leader of opposition in 2009 and finally the nation's favourite role which she played from 2014 as the External Affairs Minister.
She was loved by leaders cutting across all party lines. She was extremely compassionate and tried to maintain a sisterly /mother relationship with everyone she worked with
At the same time she never tolerated any insult of injustice to the nation or its values.
In the opposition she was the voice of the nation against any sort of corruption or malpractices by the ruling group. She was also one of the strongest advocates of Sanatan Dharma which is the essence of this land. She taught the nation to be proud of being Hindu, to talk against mockery Hindus face in the name of secularism and a strong advocate of protecting the gau vansh or cow protection.
She became one of the most outspoken external affairs ministers who helped Indians anywhere in the country who were unable to return due to natural or political calamities in their location. She rescued Indians trapped by terror groups abroad. Sushma Ji helped troubled Pakistanis by granting then medical visa to visit India and get treated inspite of such an ill relationship with our terror sponsoring neighbour.
She went to every possible international forum and exposed India as a place friendly for international investments . She displayed that India will take her decisions (both internal and external) independently, be it sticking strong to why India is committed to the Paris agreement or why the international community should fight with India in their fight against terrorism. She made the world understand that there are terror groups who would destroy humanity if the world doesn't collectively fight it.
Had a dream to meet you physically one day
Om Shanti. May she attain Sadgati
