ಹಿರಿಯರು, ನಿವೃತ್ತ ನ್ಯಾಯಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳಾದ ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಾ ಜೋಯಿಸ್ ರವರು ನಿಧನರಾದ ಸುದ್ದಿ ಅತೀವ ದುಃಖವನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ರಾಜ್ಯಪಾಲರಾಗಿ, ರಾಜ್ಯಸಭಾ ಸಂಸದರಾಗಿ ಕೂಡ ಅವರು ಅನುಪಮ ಸೇವೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಸದ್ಗತಿಯನ್ನು ಕೋರುತ್ತಾ, ದೇವರು ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬದವರಿಗೆ ನೋವನ್ನು ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ನೀಡಲಿ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಓಂ ಶಾಂತಿ. pic.twitter.com/TSSSwsaWV7
