देश के पूर्व राष्ट्रपति, भारतरत्न प्रणब मुखर्जी जी के निधन से मुझे गहरा दुख हुआ है। उनकी मृत्यु देश के लिए बहुत बड़ी क्षति है। प्रणब दा, उमदा व्यक्तित्व के धनी और अच्छे मित्र थे।
During his political career that spanned decades, Shri Pranab Mukherjee made long-lasting contributions in key economic and strategic ministries. He was an outstanding Parliamentarian, always well-prepared, extremely articulate as well as witty.
As India’s President, Shri Pranab Mukherjee made Rashtrapati Bhavan even more accessible to common citizens. He made the President’s house a centre of learning, innovation, culture, science and literature. His wise counsel on key policy matters will never be forgotten by me.
