New Delhi, May 4 (IBNS): President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday condoled the passing away of former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader from Bihar Baleshwar Ram.

In a condolence message to his wife, Chinta Devi, the President has said, “I am sad to learn about the passing away of Shri Baleshwar Ram, a friend and colleague of long years. "

"A veteran Congress leader and former Union Minister, Shri Baleshwar Ram served the nation in different capacities during his long public life. As a five term Member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly and Minister in the State Government in the sixties and seventies, he made immense contribution for the welfare and development of the people of Bihar, especially weaker sections. I had the privilege of working closely with him when both of us served as Ministers in the Government led by Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi in the eighties," Mukherjee said.

"Please accept my heartfelt condolences and convey the same to the rest of your family members. I pray to the Almighty to give you and other members of your family the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss," he said.
