The Central Government has approved a memorial for former President Pranab Mukherjee at Raj Ghat in New Delhi. His daughter, Sharmistha Mukherjee, expressed gratitude to PM Modi for the decision, noting that they hadn’t requested the memorial. She highlighted her father’s belief that state honours should be given, not sought, and found it meaningful that his memory was being respected. Sharmistha also commented on the need for memorials for leaders like Dr. Manmohan Singh, free from political debate.
