The Haryana government on Monday declared a one-day state mourning as a mark of respect to former Union minister I D Swami, who passed away in Faridabad at the age of 90.
Swami breathed his last at a private hospital on Sunday.
The national flag would fly at half-mast on December 16 in the state across all government buildings and there will be no official engagement for the day, an official statement said here.
A former BJP MP from Karnal, Swami was a minister of state for Home in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government nearly 20 years ago.
