How many times each day do you mean to say one thing, and say another instead, because you’re worried about what others might think? It’s easy to follow the herd and give in to peer pressure and demand for conformity. It is a lot more difficult to strike out on your own and truly be yourself. It’s important that we see ourselves for who we are and we honor what makes us special and unique. Pranab Mukherjee will go down in history as one of the finest Presidents India has ever had. Among his innumerable attributes, Mr. Mukherjee was known to keep pace with changing times and observe propriety in the best possible way. It was a hallmark of his personality. R.I.P to one of the greatest leaders that India has seen.

REMEMBERING A FEW OF MY FACE TO FACE INTERACTIONS WITH SH PRANAB MUKHER JEE. The death of late Sh. Pranab Mukherjee rang the curtain down of an era of politicians and the techniques of politics. Pranab Da, as popularly known, was a seasoned politician, a political strategist, an educationist, a talented trouble shooter and above all the former President of India. He called it a day at the age of 84 on 31st August’ 2020 in the Army R & R (Research & Referral) Hospital, Delhi Cant. 

Like to share a few of my broad face to face interactions with him. It may be worthwhile to mention the background, specific to these interactions: If I correctly recollect, it was in Oct’ 1996 when Sh. Deve Gowda was the Prime Minister of India, that the Deptt of Science & Technology of Govt of India (DST), was under appreciable pressure, mainly from the states of Tamil Nadu and the then Andra Pradesh, to conduct a scientific investigation on the so called ‘Herbal Fuel’ claimed by Ramar Pillai of Tamil Nadu. Consequently GOI formulated a Parliamentary Committee comprising of pretty senior MPs which included S/Sh Pranab Mukherjee, Kamal Nath and another six to seven MPs from Congress, BJP and various other political parties. 

The committee was chaired by an elderly and senior respectable MP, who hailed from south - I don’t recollect his name. DST rightly decided to send the Parliamentary Committee members to Dehradun where the Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) is located. Ramar Pillai was also instructed to proceed to Dehradun to demonstrate his claim to the committee in the presence of the scientists of IIP. There was an instruction to keep the whole matter confidential as a result the media, both print and TV, were not in knowledge of this specific event for reasons best known to the then Govt. DST gave full responsibility to one of its departments, Survey of India, to organize the whole event right from receiving the team of the MPs to their departure/send off.

 The Surveyor General of India detailed his team of officers as Liaison Officer (LO), one officer to each MP. There were about half a dozen of LOs to manage the event and I was detailed as Chief Liaison Officer (CLO) with the responsibility to be LO to the Chairman and overview the overall administrative control of the event which lasted for about 3 days. We booked their stay in Madhuban, the best star hotel in the town. I instructed the LOs to inspect rooms of their concerned MPs before leaving for the railway station, early in the morning. I along with the team of LOs received the MPs in the morning at Dehradun Railway Station and proceeded to the hotel. 

The hotel staff entertained the team of MPs in the common area of the hotel. At that stage I requested the Committee Chairman, clothed in a typical south Indian attire, to proceed to his room. What followed was a great surprise and, if I may say, a piece of great education for me. Though being the eldest in his team, both in age and protocol, the chairman silently said to me, “Sh. Pranab Mukherjee jee is a respectable MP and I would like to personally see his room before anything else follows”. Hearing from the elderly chairman of the committee about an MP, that too who was not from his political party, was eye opening and, if I may say, a piece of great education for me. He accompanied me upstairs and carefully inspected the room, even the attached wash room, meant for Sh Pranab Mukherjee. After his full satisfaction we went down stairs and I requested all MPs that they may proceed to their rooms.

 I accompanied the Chairman to his room and he told me that generally all of us, irrespective of the political parties we belong to, possess a lot of regard for Pranab Sahib. He told me to take care of all members, Mr Mukherjee in particular. During  that day the committee had substantial deliberation amongst themselves in confidence where LOs stayed out. The committee chalked out the programme for the remaining two days and instructed Director Forest Research Institute (FRI) and Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) to be ready as per the schedule.  

The next day, pretty early in the morning, the committee visited FRI and the Director made them to sit in the common room in one of the buildings and the grilled gates were closed. In the mean time the security supervisor came and contacted me saying that representatives of some TV channel wanted to come in. I went out and talked to them. They were lead by a lady who told me that she was from ZEE TV Channel and had just landed from Delhi.  I observed that they had been equipped with cameras and other related peripherals. They wanted to know if any Parliamentary Committee members were inside and added that they would like to talk to them. Without replying, I went inside and informed the chairman and asked him if I shall reply to them in negative. But he advised me not to do so and call their representative inside. The lady came in and the chairman was very courteous and told her not to disturb the committee for another one and a half day. He told her to be patient and the channel would be given appointment the next day in the evening. The lady was convinced and left along with her team.

The day was completely spent in FRI punctuated with the lunch and tea breaks. It was a typical Dehradun sunny day. During the tea break the committee came out for tea in the lush green lawn. I saw Pranab Mukherjee standing, dressed in a black Achkan and a tight fitting pyjama, with a black pipe in his mouth. He looked magnificent in the articulated attire. We were already introduced. I took the chance of interacting with him. I asked him why there was not any smoke coming out of his pipe. He told me that he was not smoking. I respectfully asked him but the pipe … He replied that he had given up smoking the pipe but was still carrying the pipe in a smoking style because this would help him in giving up the habit in due course. At that stage I also asked him about his early days We interacted a little more and in the meantime the committee resumed its work.

 The next day the committee reached Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) where Ramar Pillai had already arrived. The demonstration of herbal fuel was conducted in confidence with only the committee members and the scientists in attendance. All LOs were instructed to be out. Raman Pillai’s demo lasted for major part of the day and then he was asked to leave. The conclusions were drawn after deliberations between the Parliamentary Committee and the scientists and the meeting was called off. The committee members, accompanied by their respective LOs left for Madhuban Hotel where we found not only the ZEE Channel but representatives of other TV and the print media. The committee members went straight to the huge conference room 

The next eye opening surprise for me was when the chairman rather than taking the press conference questions requested Sh.Pranab Mekherjee to do so. At that stage I was asked to inform the media to be seated in the conferences room. The press conference lasted for a long duration and Pranab Ji handled the questions in an exemplary manner ensuring that the conclusion drawn by the committee related to the herbal fuel, whether true or hoax, was not revealed at that stage in spite of a lot of pressure from the media.

 I also remember that the next issue of ‘India Today’ had a cover page photo of the Parliamentary Committee along with some of the LOs. The next interaction was after about 11 years, in the year 2007, on my return from Rawalpindi after my second visit to Pakistan when I was deputed as Director International Boundary Directorate and dealt with the International boundaries related to our country. India and Pakistan had successfully conducted the joint survey of SIR CREEK area as a matter of confidence building measure when Sh. Manmohan Sing was the PM of India and Gen Musharraf The President of Pakistan. Sh. Menon was The foreign Secretary of India and Sh. Pranab Mukherjee was the Minister of External Affairs. 

While in GHQ Headquarters (Rawalindi) I had the privilege of signing the joint survey map on behalf of India, along with my Pakistani counterpart, in the capacity of Director International Directorate and the maps were exchanged between the two countries. Quoting an excerpt from my book (‘The Silence Speaks’) in this regard:“ Back at the office we were summoned by Mr. Shiv Shankar Menon, the Foreign Secretary, Govt. of India. During our meeting he saw the ‘Joint Survey Maps’, that we had exchanged, with utmost attention and appeared fully satisfied. I told him that nothing much had happened, as the issue could not be fully resolved. He on the other hand emphasised that something very good has happened adding that so far, discussions were merely token in nature quoting various records, which did not make much sense. However, this time round there was an authenticated, jointly surveyed map exchanged which now enabled both the sides to objectively state areas of difference. He went on to say that it was a job very well done. 

He asked the Surveyor General to be ready to give a presentation to the then Foreign Minister, Honorable Sh. Pranab Mukherjee, who then went on to become the President of India. After a few days, we went to the main conference hall of the MEA and awaited the arrival of the Foreign Minister. After a brief introduction, the Surveyor General of India and the Chief Hydrographer made their presentations. The Foreign Secretary told us to show the jointly surveyed maps, to the Honorable Minister, which were exchanged between the two countries. Sh. Pranab Mukherjee was very happy and applauded the Surveyor General and the Chief Hydrographer for an excellent job”.Pranab Mukherjee encouraged each one of us and left the conference room with smiling lips.
