Narendra Modi said that despite coming from different parties and at a time having different ideologies, it was the “strength of your (Pranab da) intellect and wisdom that we were able to work together with synergy.”
“During your political journey and your presidency, you placed the well-being of the nation over everything else… You belong to a generation of leaders for whom politics was simply a means to selflessly give back to society,” Modi wrote in his farewell letter to Pranab Mukherjee.
Hailing Pranab Mukherjee as an inspiration for people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “India will always be proud of you, a President who was a humble public servant and an exceptional leader.”
Replying to the tweet of Pranab Mukherjee, PM Modi further tweeted:
