President Pranab Mukherjee, who has a penchant for history and a razor-sharp memory, reminisced with the ADCs at the first-of-its-kind reunion of ADCs hosted by the Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday.
They are a storehouse of history.
Rear Admiral (Retd.) Kirpal Singh’s earliest memory of his days as the Aides-de-Camp (ADC) to India’s first Governor-General C. Rajagopalachari is being a witness to the long hours that Sardar Patel and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru spent discussing the country’s future.
Both the leaders were known to have often disagreed, but never disrespected each other.
And look at our political calibre today.....how low we have fallen....
