PM Modi pays tributes to Ram Vilas Paswan.
Paying tribute to Dalit leader and founder of the Lok Janshakti Party, Ram Vilas Paswan, on his birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that his contributions to public service and the empowerment of the oppressed will always be remembered.
Paswan, a minister in Modi’s government, died in October last year. He was one of the most experienced parliamentarians and had served as a minister in governments led by different parties, from socialist groups to Congress and the BJP.
In a tweet, Modi said: “Today is the anniversary of the birth of my friend, the late Ram Vilas Paswan Ji. I miss his presence very much. He was one of the most experienced MPs and administrators in India. His contributions to public service and the Empowerment of the oppressed will always be remembered. ”
Paswan’s death has sparked a factional struggle within his party, with his son Chirag Paswan and his brother Pashupati Kumar Paras claiming to represent the LJP.
