Senior Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal, who was undergoing treatment for respiratory problems in Medanta hospital in Gurgaon passed away on Tuesday afternoon. He was 89 years old.

Singhal’s demise was confirmed by Praveen Togadia. “Singhal died at 2.24 PM at Medanta Medicity hospital in Gurgaon,” Togadia said.

BJP president Amit Shah, union Health Minister JP Nadda, and BJP general secretary (organisation) Ramlal visited the hospital on Saturday to enquire about Singhal’s health.

Doctors at Medanta had confirmed on Monday that Singhal’s condition was serious because of which he was put on a life support system in the Intensive Care Unit.

Singhal had served as the VHP president for over 20 years until he was replaced by Praveen Togadia in December 2011 due to deteriorating physical health.

PM Modi has condoled his death and has said that his passing away is a deep personal loss.
