"He had tears in his eyes": LK Advani's family thanks PM Modi after Bharat Ratna announcement

After Prime Minister Narendra Modiannounced that BJP's veteran leader LK Advaniwill be conferred with the prestigious Bharat Ratnaaward, his family expressed happiness and thanked PM Modifor honouring the latter with the country's highest honour.

Pratibha Advani, LK Advani's daughter, was seen sitting with Advani at his residence in Delhi as she congratulated her father offering him a laddu.

LK Advani joined his hands and greeted the people.

"The entire family is very happy that 'Dada' (LK Advani) has received the country's highest honour. Today I miss my mother the most because her contribution to his life, be it personal or political life is huge. When I told Dada, he was very happy and said that he spent his entire life in the service of his country. He thanked PM Modiand the people of the country for honouring him with such a big award," Pratibha Advani said.

"He is very overwhelmed. He is a man of few words. But he had tears in his eyes. He was very happy even at the time of Pran Pratishtha of Ram temple. This was such a dream of his life for which he struggled and worked for a long time. His personality is such that when someone praises him, tears come to his eyes," she added.

Jayant Advani, veteran BJP leader LK Advani's son said that it is wonderful to note that at this stage in his life, his efforts are being recognised in this magnificent way.

"My family and I are extremely delighted with this new development. I would like to thank PM Narendra Modi for conferring this award on my father. My father's contribution to public life has been immense and it is wonderful to note that at this stage in his life, his efforts are being recognised in this magnificent way," he said.

Earlier, making the announcement of the award Prime Minister Narendra Modi said "One of the most respected statesmen of our times, his contribution to the development of India is monumenta

    Pratibha Advani, Lal Kishenchand Advani's daughter, says she felt angry when her father was criticised for his comments on Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

    The incident forced him to resign as president of the Bharatiya Janata Party for a short period before agreeing to return at the request of senior party leaders. L K Advani finally stepped down as BJP president on December 31, 2005.

    In an exclusive interview with Rediff.com's Onkar Singh, Pratibha says she would be happy if she could emulate her father -- whom she endearingly calls 'Dada' -- by even 10 per cent.

    "I have seen tears in his eyes while hugging Atalji (former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee). They are great friends. The relationship these two have shared is often misunderstood by the press," she says.

    I don't think anybody knows him better than I do. I am very close to him as are my mother and brother Jayant. I spend a lot of time with him and continue to do so on a regular basis.

    As a person and politician, I feel the media has always demonised him. It has been unfair and uncharitable to him. He is the softest person I have ever known. I have seen sides of him no one else has.

    He is well up on issues close to his heart, be it India, the party or anything else. Even if I weren't his daughter, I would still say there are very few people who come close to perfection and he does. He is a person who has work
