Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep sorrow over the death of Subhash C Kashyap, a distinguished constitutional expert and former Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha, who passed away at the age of 97. In a heartfelt message on X, Modi recognized Kashyap as one of India's leading scholars, noting that his contributions to parliamentary and constitutional discourse significantly enriched Indian society. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also paid tribute, emphasizing Kashyap's enduring impact on India's legal and intellectual landscape. Singh praised Kashyap's prolific writings, which illuminated the complexities of the Constitution and parliamentary democracy, stating that his work would continue to inspire future generations. Born on May 10, 1929, Kashyap was instrumental in a high-level committee led by former President Ram Nath Kovind to develop a legal framework for simultaneous elections. His loss is felt deeply by many who admired his dedication to strengthening India's democratic institutions.
