VICE PRESIDENT CONDOLES THE DEATH OF SHRI RAJENDRA SINGH


Vice President Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat has condoled the passing away of Shri Rajendra Singh. He said "It was with profound sorrow that I received the news of the passing away of Shri Rajendra Singh, popularly known as Rajju Bhaiyya.

Shri Rajju Bhaiyya has left a distinct mark in the society and polity with his organisational dynamism, academic skills and commitment for societal values. In his long public service, he served the country and the people with distinction. A true nationalist, a great thinker and a visionary, he never lost his contact with masses and always worked for the welfare of the poor and the deprived people.

In the passing away of Shri Rajju Bhaiyya, the country has lost an able Patriot, an outstanding social reformer and a practitioner of value-based politics. His services will be deeply missed.

I send my heartfelt condolences to the members of the bereaved family and his large circle of friends and admirers."
