She displayed dignity and decency in public life. I am hurt by her death. My condolences to her family and the people of Britain at this time of grief. During my visits to the UK in 2015 and 2018, I had memorable encounters with Queen Elizabeth II. I will not forget their warmth and kindness. During one of the meetings, she showed me the handkerchief that Mahatma Gandhi had gifted her at her wedding. And she said she will always keep this”.
