Highest Honour

The immortal leader, prominent statesman, fabled poet and our 10th Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Bajpai, has ever been creative; he is known for his high-minded principles as it was he who could win the hearts of both his supporters and detractors and influence the houses of Indian Parliament by his consultative, inclusive and participatory governance. The whole world acknowledges his greatness as a statesman but Congress could never see the recognition he had achieved. They conferred the highest civilian honour on Sachin Tendulkar, quite ignoring him. I do not mean the well-known cricketer did not deserve that – I mean the highly acclaimed politician, the role model for the world of politics also deserved Bharat Ratna. Later our worthy PM Sri Narendra Modi took this wise decision and now again he has shown his broad-mindedness by recommending Sri Pranab Mukherjee, a life long Congressman, along with music legend Bhupen Hazarika and social activist Nanaji Deshmukh for the precious award. Our former President Pranab Dada really deserve it, for his valuable contribution to the country cannot be overlooked, but it is Congress that closed the eyes to Sardar Patel, its own prominent party leader, and it is not amazing that it would always treat Dada with disdain, too. Yes, if you ask who the jewel of India is, they would soon name Sonia Gandhi, reputed to be a Hindu-hater, the only person worthy for the highest honour.
