New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) Articulating the opinions of Raju Srivastava fans across the world, State leader Narendra Modi tweeted that the comic, who died following a 43-day battle on September 21 at 58 years old, “lit up our lives with chuckling, humor and energy”.

A pearl who pulled away the misery of millions with his piece of work. Aside from being a refined artiste, he was an incredible individual. My sincere sympathies to his family, companions and admirers.”
Tamil entertainer and BJP representative Khushbu Sundar said: “They say laughter is a pain killer with no side effects. Also, the individuals who have made us snicker withdraw, they abandon recollections of joy and that is the way they believe we should recall them. Will continuously recall him cheerfully and a tear.”

You have left us with an endowment of grins and ignores on and the screen for eternity. The Mukesh family stretches out our most profound sympathies to the [Srivastava] family.”
India, under the leadership of PM @narendramodi has emerged as the most trusted partner of the world.
Endorsement of PM Modi’s sentiment on conflict by global leaders shows the world’s belief in the Indian ethos of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’.
