SHRI CHANDRA SHEKHAR (Ballia, U.P.) :

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Shri Rangrajan Kumaramangalam is no more with us. It is a grievous loss for the entire nation and to the Parliament as well. It is an unbearable loss but as our hon’ble Prime Minister has stated we have no option but to bear it. Shri Kumaramangalam was a young politician. There were great expectations from him in the field of politics and in Parliament. He had carved a niche in the National politics. We had never expected that our hope would fade away so soon. It would be difficult to fill the void created by his death. I pay my homage to his memory and convey my condolences to the bereaved family.
