Union minister and Lok Janshakti Party leader Ram Vilas Paswan passed away on Thursday evening. He was 74.
Paswan had undergone a heart surgery last week and was recuperating at a Delhi hospital. He had multiple organ complications and was critical.
He has been serving as the minister of food and public distribution in the Union cabinet.
“Papa .... Now you are not in this world but I know you are always with me wherever you are. Miss you Papa…,” tweeted his son Chirag Paswan, along with a throwback photo.
Paswan, a prominent dalit leader from Bihar, had stepped down as the Lok Janshakti Party chief in November 2019, after helming it for 19 years.
