PM Modi had reached Ahmedabad from Delhi on Wednesday afternoon and visited the hospital to meet his mother. He had remained at the hospital for more than an hour and had also spoken to doctors at the hospital, a government-funded autonomous medical facility.
Born on June 18, 1923, Hiraba, (100), is survived by her five sons — Somabhai, Amritbhai, Narendra, Prahlad and Pankaj — and one daughter Vasantiben.
Born in Visnagar of Mehsana district, Hiraba had lost her mother when she was a child to the Spanish Flu pandemic. She spent much of her life with limited financial resources and was illiterate. Visnagar is close to Vadnagar, PM Modi’s native place.
शानदार शताब्दी का ईश्वर चरणों में विराम… मां में मैंने हमेशा उस त्रिमूर्ति की अनुभूति की है, जिसमें एक तपस्वी की यात्रा, निष्काम कर्मयोगी का प्रतीक और मूल्यों के प्रति प्रतिबद्ध जीवन समाहित रहा है। pic.twitter.com/yE5xwRogJi
