MUMBAI, Feb. 23, 2024 (TBINN)
Former Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi passed away at a Mumbai hospital today, where he was admitted after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The former Maharashtra chief minister was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of P.D. Hinduja Hospital in Maharashtra’s capital on Wednesday and breathed his last at the private medical facility, family sources said.
Manohar Joshi, aged 86, was severely ill, the hospital had said in a statement.
The Shiv Sena stalwart was admitted to the same hospital in May last year after suffering a brain haemorrhage.
Manohar Joshi served as chief minister from 1995 to 1999 and was the first leader from the undivided Shiv Sena to occupy the top post in the state.
Manohar Joshi was also elected as a Member of Parliament and was the Lok Sabha Speaker from 2002 to 2004 when the Vajpayee Government was in power.
