The mortal remains of former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj were consigned to flames on Wednesday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders, besides family, friends and admirers bid a tearful adieu to the political stalwart.

A sea of mourners had gathered at the Lodhi Road crematorium in New Delhi where she was cremated with full state honours.

Swaraj, one of India’s most high-profile woman politicians, who brought a rare empathy and a human approach to India’s diplomacy, died at All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi late Tuesday night, plunging the nation in a state of grief.
