The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW), Sarbananda Sonowal expressed deep grief over the passing of senior leader and former Union Minister Kabindra Purkayastha, calling his demise a personal loss and a major void in Assam’s political life.

“Deeply pained by the passing of senior leader and former Union Minister Shri Kabindra Purkayastha ji. He dedicated his entire life to building the organisation from the grassroots, setting a benchmark for selfless service,” Sonowal said.

He said Purkayastha’s life was a shining example of Seva and Samarpan, further adding, “For thousands of karyakartas like me, his journey and guidance have been a constant source of inspiration. He was a source of courage, devotion, a guiding light and truly a father figure to me.”

Sonowal said Purkayastha’s passing has left a void that would be hard to fill, and extended his condolences to his son Kanad Purkayastha, family members and followers.
