Sir — This refers to the article, “Soul of India in pluralism, tolerance: Pranab” (June 8). Former President of India Mukherjee, first accepted the invite from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and attended its conclave at Nagpur the other day.
Despite some reservations from Congress leaders, his bold step needs deserves applause. His speech there was more bolder and louder. He was quite right in claiming that the soul of the nation resides in pluralism and tolerance. His love for KB Hedgewar seems to be humanitarian and simple.
His concern for secularism is understandable in the present day context. But some pseudo-secular politicians vitiate the atmosphere of a true democracy. This should end.
