«When Baba died, I was in active politics and part of the Congress. I was shocked that no formal CWC was called and no condolence resolution was passed. As far as I have the idea, it was in Congress' convention. Sonia Gandhi personally sent me a letter but as an institution, no condolences were passed. Before president, he was a stalwart Congress leader for 45 years. He was associated with CWC for 30 years,» Mukherjee told ANI.
«Someone told me that the president is above party lines so this was not followed but after Baba's death, I was reading his diaries and I came to know that when former president KR Narayan died, then a CWC condolence meeting was called; my father drafted the message,» she said.
Mukherjee also urged the central government to make a memorial in the name of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, who passed away on Thursday.
«My father always used to say he is a true gentleman. It is a great loss to the nation; my deepest condolences to his family and friends,» she said.
