Shri Ram Vilas Paswan condoles the death of Shri P.A Sangma Shri Ram Vilas Paswan, Union Cabinet Minister expressed his condoles on the sad demise of Ex-Speaker, Lok Sabha and MP Shri P.A. Sangma. In his message Shri Paswan has said that Shri P.A. Sangma was very dear to me and I knew him personally. Shri Sangma will be remembered for his service to the nation in different roles; as Speaker, Lok Sabha, as a Union Minister, as a Member of Parliament and as a political leader. In the year 1996, when I was leader of the House in Lok Sabha and Minister, Rail and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Sangma conducted the House as Speaker in such a manner that it was appreciated by leaders of all the political parties. Even now his suggestions on national and important issues carried weight. He was not only a tribal leader or one who represented the North-Eastern States, but a national leader of caliber. However, time and tide wait for none. Nation has lost a great leader and a worthy son due to sudden demise of Shri Sangma. May God rest his soul in peace and give strength to the family of the departed soul."
