New Delhi: Ratan Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of the Tata Group, on Saturday requested Twitter users to stop the online campaign seeking India’s highest civilian award Bharat Ratna for him.
“While I appreciate the sentiments expressed by a section of the social media in terms of an award, I would humbly like to request that such campaigns be discontinued. Instead, I consider myself fortunate to be an Indian and to try and contribute to India’s growth and prosperity,” tweeted Ratan Tata.
