Panaji: Goa chief minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday condemned death of former Union minister for foreign affairs Sushma Swaraj, who passed away at AIIMS, New Delhi.
“She was closely associated with Goa. I know her from the time she was visiting Goa. She was very strong leader who worked for the party,” Sawant told reporters minutes after the news about her death broke from the national capital.
“It is a major loss for BJP and also for the nation. During her last five years tenure as foreign affairs minister, she had maintained good relation with various nations,” he said.
The chief minister said that the void has been created after her death.
