The 84-year-old former President Pranab Mukherjee was admitted after testing positive for coronavirus died yesterday.
Due to the Covid protocol, the dead body of the former President will be taken for last rites in a hearse van instead of the gun carriage. The funeral will take place at the Lodi Road crematorium.
A day before demitting office, Mukherjee said “there are divergent strands in public discourse. We may argue, we may agree or we may not agree. But we cannot deny the essential prevalence of multiplicity of opinion. Otherwise, a fundamental character of our thought process will wither away.”
The information of his death was broken by his son Abhijit Mukherjee on twitter. "With a heavy heart, this is to inform you that my father Shri Pranab Mukherjee has just passed away despite the best efforts of doctors of RR Hospital and prayers, duas and prarthanas from people throughout India! I thank all of you with folded hands," Abhijit Mukherjee tweeted.
On July 2, 2017, we got the opportunity to become a part of showcasing Pranab Mukherjee’s journey as the President by publishing “President Pranab Mukherjee – A Statesman”.
