Swami Agnivesh: Social Activist passes away at 80

A popular leader of the Arya Samaj, he was elected President of the World Council of Arya Samaj in 2004.

A celebrated campaigner against bonded labour, a bridge between the government and Maoist leadership, part of Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption crusade, Arya Samaj leader and a reality TV participant — Swami Agnivesh wore many hats in his life.

His eventful eight-decade-long life journey came to an end on Friday at a Delhi hospital after battling multi-organ failure. He died at 6.30 PM, said a statement by the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences.
