On the last day in office as the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee received a letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It made him so emotional that he couldn’t resist from sharing it with the people of the nation.
“Pranab Da, you have always been a father figure and a mentor to me. You have been so warm, affectionate and caring to me. Your wisdom, guidance and personal warmth have given me greater confidence and strength,” wrote an emotional Modi in his letter to Pranab Mukherjee.
The letter spells out the bond between the two leaders who emerged from vastly different political ideologies (Congress and BJP).
“Pranab Da, our political journeys took shape in different political parties. Our ideologies, at times, have been different. Our experiences are also varied. My administrative experience was from my state, whereas you have seen the expanse of our national polity and politics for decades. Yet, such is the strength of your intellect and wisdom that we were able to work together with synergy.
You belong to a generation of leaders for whom politics was simply a means to selflessly give back to society. You stand as a great source of inspiration for the people of India. India will always be proud of you, a President who was a humble public servant and an exceptional leader. Your legacy will continue to guide us.
Rashtrapati Ji, it has been an honor to work with you, as your Prime Minister,” Modi said in honor of Mukherjee, who stepped down from office on July 25, this year.
