Chandigarh, September 6

Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday expressed profound grief over the demise of former MP Sukhdev Singh Libra (86).

In a condolence message, the CM described Libra as a grassroots leader, who always believed in value-based politics. He said with the passing away of Libra, the state had been bereft of the services of a gentleman Sikh politician and a fine human being with the qualities of the head and the heart. The CM said Libra, without caring for any post, always stood firm on his unflinching principles.

Recalling a major development in national politics, Capt said that Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) MP Libra rose above the party lines fearlessly to cast his vote in favour of Dr Manmohan Singh, the then Prime Minister, during the floor test in the Lok Sabha on Indo-US nuclear deal in 2008.

Capt prayed to the Almighty to give strength to the bereaved family and peace to the departed soul. — TNS
