External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday paid glowing tributes to former Prime Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his death anniversary saying that his undying legacy in diplomacy and strategy remains a guiding light.
“Pay my homage to Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji on his Punya Tithi. His manifold contributions to advancing India on the world stage will always be remembered. In diplomacy and strategy, his legacy remains a guiding light,” Jaishankar posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Born in Gwalior in 1924, Vajpayee was the face of the BJP for decades and was the first non-Congress prime minister to have served a full term in office.
