However, despite the doctor's best efforts and millions of prayers by his fans, friends and family, Pandit Sukh Ram had died due to a brain stroke.
For the unversed, from 1993 to 1996, Pandit Sukh Ram Sharma was holding the Communications and Information Technology ministry. It was on July 31, 1995, when he had pioneered the first mobile phone call in the country by calling the then-Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu. And thus, for many such groundbreaking and pioneering visions, he would always be remembered by the present and future generations.
