My father would say his stint with Indira Gandhi was 'golden period': Sharmishtha Mukherjee

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 12 December 2023
Former president Pranab Mukherjee's daughter, Sharmishtha Mukherjee, revealed that her father felt excluded from Rajiv Gandhi's cabinet due to his non-subservient attitude. She also highlighted his admiration for Indira Gandhi and his belief that his time with her was the golden period of his political life. Sharmishtha mentioned her father's opposition to the proposed ordinance torn by Rahul Gandhi in 2013, which aimed to bypass a Supreme Court order on the disqualification of convicted legislators.
