New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Bharat Ratna conferred on former president Pranab Mukherjee is a fitting recognition for his service to the nation.

“Thank you for leaving no stone unturned towards making India more developed … It was an honour to witness you receiving the Bharat Ratna, a fitting recognition of everything that you have done for the nation,” Modi tweeted.

Acclaimed Assamese singer Bhupen Hazarika and RSS leader Nanaji Deshmukh were conferred the award posthumously.
