The president was awarded. Once he didn't ask for it, I don't think there should be any qualms about that,” he said. “He was awarded, and as a gentleman as he is, I don't think it would be appropriate for him to say no. It is a state visit, and it is not unusual for visiting presidents to be recognised by the host state. So, I think that is within the context in which we have to view the honorary degree awarded to the president,” he added.
