स्वर्गीय जॉर्ज फर्नांडिस जी का जीवन निस्वार्थ राष्ट्रसेवा का एक अप्रीतम उदाहरण है। आपातकाल के विरोध से लेकर विभिन्न पदों पर रहते हुए देश की प्रगति में उन्होंने बहुत बड़ा योगदान दिया। मोदी सरकार द्वारा उन्हें पद्म विभूषण देकर उनके योगदान को चिरस्मरणीय बनाना अत्यंत हर्ष का विषय है। pic.twitter.com/BtHTIhtprJ
