“I Got A Lot More From The People Of Our Great Country Than I Have Given To Them”, Says Former President Pranab Mukherjee Accepting The Bharat Ratna

It is with a deep sense of humility and gratitude to the people of India that I accept this great honour #BharatRatna bestowed upon me. I have always said and I repeat, that I have got more from the people of our great country than I have given to them.#CitizenMukherjee

Pranab Da is an outstanding statesman of our times.

He has served the nation selflessly and tirelessly for decades, leaving a strong imprint on the nation's growth trajectory.

His wisdom and intellect have few parallels. Delighted that he has been conferred the Bharat Ratna.
