That was the view of Pranab Mukherjee about Bangladesh, who passed away at a hospital in New Delhi on August 31. He was the first Bengali president -- known as “Chanakya” in all-India politics -- a Congress party politician, and a statesman. This friendship started with the liberation war of 1971. Bangladesh honoured Pranab Mukherjee for his contribution in the Liberation War in 1971. His support for our Liberation War in 1971 was for humanity, and justice gave us courage and motivation.
