"Commemorating the 147th Birth Anniversary of the visionary statesman C. Rajagopalachari today. Rajaji's legacy shines through his remarkable synthesis of beliefs: economic liberalism for growth and prosperity democratic pluralism championing liberty and free thought and a profound connection to his civilisational roots (as seen in his retellings of the Ramayana & Mahabharata). As a long-time admirer my Pranaams to a true giant who showed that modernity and tradition could beautifully coexist with intellectual rigour and political courage: an example I seek to follow. #Rajaji #CRajagopalachari"

"I have come to know from media reports that I have been named a recipient of the "Veer Savarkar Award" which is to be presented today in Delhi. I only learned about this announcement yesterday in Kerala where I had gone to vote in the local self-government elections. There in Thiruvananthapuram responding to media queries I had clarified that I was neither aware of nor had accepted such an award and it was irresponsible on the part of the organisers to announce my name without my having agreed to receive it. Despite that today in Delhi some media outlets continue to ask the same question."
