The President's Office on Wednesday announced the
Bharat Ratna award to Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya
(posthumously) and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari
Vajpayee.
The announcement was made on the eve of Mr.
Vajpayee's 90th birthday and the 153rd birth anniversary
of Pandit Malviya.
The BJP has been demanding Bharat Ratna for Mr.
Vajpayee for a long time; and BJP patriarch L.K. Advani
has been at the forefront of seeking the highest civilian
honour for the former Prime Minister.
Earlier, Mr. Advani had written a letter to the UPA
Government to award the Bharat Ratna to the former
Prime Minister. The request was however, overlooked by
the UPA government, said sources. In 2013, the award
was conferred to cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and scientist
C.N.R Rao.
