Shivraj Patil Passes Away: The Home Minister who had apologized and resigned after 26/11, said goodbye to the world today.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Today has indeed brought a big loss for Indian politics. Senior Congress leader and former Home Minister of the country Shivraj Patil is no more with us. The news is coming that he has passed away due to prolonged illness. He was around 89-90 years old. With his departure, not only the Congress has lost one of its old soldiers, but the country has said goodbye to a leader who traveled from Lok Sabha Speaker to Home Minister. Shivraj was an example of simplicity and discipline. If you look at the politics of the old era, the image of Shivraj Patil has always been that of a very gentle and educated leader. Shivraj Patil political career was very long and full of ups and downs. He was called the ‘Gentleman’ of politics. Be it the way he wore clothes or the way he spoke in Parliament, he always looked different. He breathed his last in Latur, Maharashtra. It is being told that he was ill for some time and was admitted in the hospital. Today’s generation probably knows him as the Union Home Minister of the country between 2004 and 2008, but his real contribution has been in running the Parliament. He was the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from 1991 to 1996. He is still remembered for maintaining discipline inside the Parliament during that period. Like a good speaker, he always followed the rules and got them done. A big decision was taken after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. 2008 was the most talked about and emotional phase of Shivraj Patil’s life. When 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks took place, Shivraj Patil was the Home Minister of the country. The country was angry at that time. What he did in such a situation is rarely seen in today’s politics. He resigned from his post accepting the moral responsibility arising after the attacks. Shivraj Patil Resignation was in the news at that time, because he had given up his chair without any fanfare. Ending a chapter of politics. The journey of Shivraj Patil, who left Latur and reached the corridors of power in Delhi, was not easy. From Indira Gandhi’s era to Manmohan Singh’s government, he saw every stage. He was also the Governor of Punjab and also took charge of Rajasthan. After his demise, everyone from the Prime Minister to big leaders have expressed grief. This is not just the departure of a leader, but the end of old school politics, where decorum and dignity of office were supreme. The country will always remember him for his clean ‘suit-boot’ image and calm nature.
