Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today said he will request the President Pranab Mukherjee to install portraits of all the Param Vir Chakra awardees in Rashtrapati Bhawan as a mark of respect for the recipients.

“I will go to Delhi next week and request the President to get portraits of all 21 Param Vir Chakra awardees at Rashtrapati Bhawan. Installing such pictures will not only honour them, but the people can also pay their tributes,” Naik said.

The President is also the commander-in-chief of the Indian Armed Forces.

The Governor said that he would also request Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to get such pictures installed at suitable public places across the country.

Naik today unveiled well crafted murals of three posthumous Param Vir Chakra awardees from Uttar Pradesh in a ceremony at the Command War Memorial ‘Smritika' in Lucknow Cantonment.
