Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan on Sunday posted an emotional message on Twitter after his mother passed away at the age of 89.

Vardhan said that his mother suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday morning.

Heartbroken to inform that my dearest person on earth, my Mother, has left for heavenly abode.
She was 89 & suffered a cardiac arrest today morning.
A towering personality, my guide & philosopher, she has left a void in my life that none can fill.
May her pious soul find peace. pic.twitter.com/wCAm0P74OC
