Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a shining star on the horizon of Indian politics, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said while paying her tributes to him.
Remembering him, the Speaker said his demise is a loss which can not be regained.
"Such an incredible and invaluable jewel adding to the glory of our motherland has left for heavenly abode today the precious gem of the crown has left behind a void," she said in a statement.
