On 24th April, MP for Slough mourned the unfortunate death of his grandmother after she had contracted Covid-19. Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, expressed a heartfelt goodbye to his grandmother on Facebook and Twitter. He wrote,
“We bid our final farewell today to my grandmother (who sadly contracted Covid-19) - the matriarch of the family, a formidable personality, who was the glue binding together our extended family. From feeding, scolding and advising us, she was forever at the heart of things. Personally I learnt so much from my long weekly discussions with her and my grandfather, putting the world to rights, and will miss her dearly.
“Travesty is we couldn’t even carry her coffin on our shoulders, couldn’t mourn collectively with family and friends, and give her the befitting send-off she so richly deserved. Apologies to her and all those we couldn’t invite to the funeral. May she rest in peace.
