PM Modi condoles demise of World’s oldest monarch Queen Elizabeth II

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid his condolences after the demise of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday.

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning sovereign, passed away peacefully at the Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The world’s oldest monarch was 96.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the Royal Family said in a tweet on Thursday night at 11 pm.

PM Modi in his condolence message said, “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered as a stalwart of our times. She provided inspiring leadership to her nation and people. She personified dignity and decency in public life. Pained by her demise. My thoughts are with her family and people of UK in this sad hour,” the Prime Minister tweeted

“I had memorable meetings with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during my UK visits in 2015 and 2018. I will never forget her warmth and kindness. During one of the meetings she showed me the handkerchief Mahatma Gandhi gifted her on her wedding. I will always cherish that gesture,” PM Modi said.
