Dr Balram Jakhar Ji was one of the most towering personalities to sit on the Lok Sabha Speaker’s Chair. An avid reader of admirable intellect, equally at home in a library or on a sports field with his towering 6 feet 5 inches’ frame. He will be missed.

 He will be missed by his family and farmers alike. He was born on the August 23, 1923, in village Panjkosi near Abohar in Punjab, which is close to the border with Pakistan.
