“I am deeply shocked and saddened by the sad demise of former President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee. India has lost a legendary leader and statesman. My deepest condolences to the bereaved family and may his soul rest in peace,” Khandu said in a message here this evening.

Khandu remembered Late Mukherjee as a quintessential seven-time parliamentarian starting his political journey as Member of the Rajya Sabha in 1969. He was re-elected four more times before winning his first Lok Sabha election from Bengal’s Jangipur in 2004. He was re-elected in 2009.

“Late Mukherjee was a formidable political strategist, draftsman and parliamentarian with an astute legal mind. Elected India’s President in 2012, Late Mukherjee will always be remembered for leaving behind the legacy of a president who spoke his mind to the government and yet, kept the bridges and friendships intact. People of Arunachal Pradesh will always be indebted to him for having a soft corner for the state throughout his political career,” Khandu added.
