Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday met Bharatiya Janata Party veteran LK Advani and congratulated him for getting the Bharat Ratna, saying the former deputy prime minister has made invaluable contribution to the country’s cultural heritage, politics and progress.
On February 3, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that Advani will be conferred Bharat Ratna.
“Met respected Shri Lal Krishna Advani today after the announcement of him getting Bharat Ratna and congratulated him. Advani has made invaluable contribution to the country’s cultural heritage, politics and progress. The work done by him is a source of inspiration for all of us. By deciding to give Bharat Ratna to respected Advani, Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi has honoured his tireless struggles and contribution,” Shah said in a post in Hindi on ‘X’.
BJP president JP Nadda also accompanied Shah in his visit to Advani’s residence.
The manner in which PM Modi took to platform X and confirmed the news of Advani getting the highest civilian award is plausible. Modi acknowledged Advani’s excellence and expertise as a statesman. His unsurmountable contribution to the politics was lauded with utmost humility by the prime minister.
