Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the demise of eminent lawyer and former Union minister Ram Jethmalani, 95, who died on Sunday after a prolonged illness.
“In the passing away of Ram Jethmalani, India has lost an exceptional lawyer and an iconic public figure who made rich contributions both in the Court and Parliament. He was witty, courageous and never shied away from boldly expressing himself on any subject.”
