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&#8217; 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,&#8221; Mukherjee told ANI.&#8221;Someone told me that the president is above party lines so this was not followed but after Baba&#8217;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,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/former-president-pranab-mukherjee-to-get-memorial-in-rashtriya-smriti-daughter-thanks-pm-modi\/articleshow\/117026168.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Government on Tuesday approved the earmarking of a designated site within the &#8220;Rashtriya Smriti&#8221; complex (a part of the Rajghat precinct) for erecting a Samadhi of Late Pranab Mukherjee, former President of India.
