Sumitra Mahajan visits Parrikar's family

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan Friday visited the family members of late Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar at their residence in Dona Paula near here.

"Mahajan spent almost half-an-hour with Parrikar's family members, including his sons- Utpal and Abhijat," a senior BJP official said.

"During the interaction, Mahajan remembered Parrikar's contribution as the defence minister of the country," he said.

Parrikar, 63, died on Sunday after a year-long battle with a pancreatic ailment.
