New Delhi, Dec 24 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday released a commemorative coin in honour of former Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that our minds are not ready to believe that Shri Vajpayee is no longer with us.

"He was a stalwart loved and respected across all sections of society," Modi said.

He said that over decades, Vajpayee's voice remained the voice of the people. As a speaker, he was unparalleled.

"He is among the best orators our nation has produced," the Prime Minister added.

Narendra Modi said that a long part of Vajpayee's career was spent in the opposition benches, but he always spoke about national interest.

The Prime Minister said that Vajpayee wanted democracy to be supreme.

He expressed confidence that Vajpayee will continue to be an inspiration for all of us.
