"Very sad to announce the sudden demise of my wife Smt Shashi Bala Jain, who left for her heavenly abode today morning," Jain said in his tweet today.
Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal expressed profound grief over the demise of Shashi Bala.
In his condolence message, Badal said, Shashi Bala was a generous lady and a worthy companion of the former MP Satya Pal Jain who always stood rock solid behind him besides working tirelessly and equitably to serve all the sections of society.
