“Jaswat Singh was a world class diplomat, statesman”: Maharashtra Governor

The Governor of Maharashstra Bhagat Singh Koshyari has expressed grief over the demise of former Union Minister of Defence and Finance Jaswant Singh. In a condolence message, the Governor said:

“The news of the demise of former Union Minister Shri Jaswant Singh is deeply saddening. Fiercely patriotic, articulate and eloquent, Jaswant Singh made his mark as India’s Defence Minister, Minister of External Affairs and Finance Minister in the government led by late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His learned speeches and interventions within Parliament and outside were awaited and appreciated by one and all. I had the proud privilege of knowing Jaswant Singh ji intimately. In his demise, India has lost a world class diplomat and statesman. May Almighty grant him eternal peace. I convey my heartfelt condolences to Shri Manvendra Singh and other members of the bereaved family.”
