Pandit Sukh Ram was a veteran Congress leader and a former Union Minister in the Indian government. He was the Union Minister of State, Communications from 1993 to 1996 and was elected in the Lok Sabha in 1984. He had served as a junior minister in the Rajiv Gandhi government. He was admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on May 7, 2022 due to his deteriorating health and this morning he breathed his last.

This morning, while informing about his grandfather’s demise, Aayush had written in his statement, “With a very heavy heart I bid farewell to my beloved Dadaji Pandit Sukh Ram Sharma. Even though you’re gone, I know you’ll always be with me, guiding me, looking over me and blessing me like you always do. Rest in peace dadaji, you will be dearly missed. (sic)”
