Former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to be honoured with the prestigious Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award by the Indian President Pranab Mukherjee.
The President will personally visit the former PM's residence on March 27, as a special gesture and honour him with the award, blending away from the protocol.
Freedom fighter, late Madan Mohan Malaviya (Mahamana) will also be awarded the great honour on March 30.
The ailing Vajpayee is expected to receive the award in the presence of the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his residence by Friday evening and his entire cabinet is also expected to be there.
