Lok Sabha Speaker Mrs. Sumitra Mahajan has condoled the demise of Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers & Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Shri Ananth Kumar.
In her message, she said:
“I have received the news of the sad and untimely demise of Hon’ble Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers & Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Shri Ananth Kumar. I am extremely pained. I, on behalf on myself and Lok Sabha, offer my condolences.
An effective organizer and competent leader, Ananth Kumarji had been my colleague in the party and Parliament for several years. As Parliamentary Affairs Minister, his tenure was marked by coordination with all parties in the House. This apart, he handled his ministry in a skillful manner. His amiability, dynamism and service-oriented personality will be remembered in times to come. I had visited the Banglore Hospital on 28 October to know about his health and met him and his wife Tejaswani. I was hopeful that he would recover from illness. But I received today the extremely painful news of his demise. May his wife Tejaswaniji and other members of his family have inner strength to bear this grief. ॐ Shanti.”
