Mohali/IBNS: Parkash Singh Badal, a five-time former Punjab Chief Minister, and Akali Dal patriarch, died on Tuesday. He was 95.


The demise was confirmed by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Badal was admitted to Fortis Hospital in Mohali a week ago after he complained of uneasiness while breathing.

He was also the youngest Chief Minister to ever hold office in the state of Punjab.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the tributes to the Punjab veteran politician, calling Badal a "colossal figure of Indian politics, and a remarkable statesman".

"Extremely saddened by the passing away of Shri Parkash Singh Badal Ji. He was a colossal figure of Indian politics, and a remarkable statesman who contributed greatly to our nation. He worked tirelessly for the progress of Punjab and anchored the state through critical times," PM Modi tweeted with a picture of himself with the veteran leader.
