Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla cancelled his press meet following the demise of former Union Minister and fire brand BJP leader Sushma Swaraj. Birla was supposed to hold a press meet in New Delhi today. Swaraj passed away due to a cardiac arrest on Tuesday night. She was admitted to All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) following a deterioration in her health.
According to sources at AIIMS, the 67-year-old was feeling restless at 9 pm and reached the hospital at around 9:30 pm in an ambulance. A team of doctors tried to revive her for 70 to 80 minutes but failed in their attempt. Swaraj was declared dead at 10:50 pm. In her last tweet, the former external affairs minister thanked PM Modi for revoking article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.
