For the 1st time ever, I have seen a person who was a Chief Minister; despite fighting cancer, didn't retreat from his responsibilities until the last breath; despite having a tube in his nose, kept his responsibilities towards the public and continued to serve. #RIPParrikar ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0095¯ï¸Âu00c2u008fðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0087®ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0087³ pic.twitter.com/JAVYPsh3lX
