Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh is no more. Singh, 64, was ill for a very long time and was undergoing treatment in a Singapore hospital for some months. A recent news report said he was in ICU and his family was by his side. Earlier, Singh had suffered kidney failure in 2013.

Earlier today, he had tweeted a tribute to freedom fighter and educationist Bal Gangadhar Tilak on his death anniversary and also wished Eid Al Adha to all his followers. He had posted a short video message on March 22 on Twitter from the hospital bed. In the video, he made an appeal to all his followers to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the fight against coronavirus.
