New Delhi, Sep 30: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart and former Delhi BJP president Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra passed away on Tuesday morning at the age of 94 while undergoing treatment at AIIMS.

Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, in a statement, expressed deep sorrow, describing Malhotra’s life as an enduring example of simplicity and dedication to public service. “Since the days of Jan Sangh, he worked tirelessly to expand the ideology of the Sangh in Delhi. His life has always been, and will continue to be, a source of inspiration for all BJP workers,” Sachdeva said.
