Former Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, a leading leader of the Hindu Bharitha Janata Party (BJP), died today from a heart attack Tuesday night at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, according to a statement issued by the Institute. Narendra Modi from 2014 to 2019, her sudden death shocked her family, friends and politicians, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Swaraj's death in a series of tweets as a "personal loss" and praised her work as foreign minister. "Swaraj has played a key role in improving India's relations with several countries," Modi said. "As a minister, we have seen its humanitarian side, helping the Indians in need." It is noteworthy that Swaraj wrote her last tweet hours before her death and praised the decision to abolish the special constitutional status of the Indian-controlled Kashmir. Opposition Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called Swaraj "an exceptional political figure, a talented fiancée and an exceptional MP who enjoys friendships outside the party." Swaraj had a kidney transplant in 2016 and decided not to run in the general election held earlier this year for health reasons.
