Renowned Sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan has been honoured with the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavna Award for 2012 in New Delhi on Tuesday on the occasion of the 69th birth anniversary of late Rajiv Gandhi. He was honoured for his immense contribution in promoting communal harmony, peace and goodwill. Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Congress leader Karan Singh were also present on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, Sonia Gandhi said a divided society cannot progress with all its strength. "The founders of our country implemented this in their lives. Soon after Independence, Gandhiji and later Indiraji and Rajivji paid the price for this. These are not simple episodes of history. This will always be imbibed in the history of new India and continue to provide light to the society. Lamp gives light by burning itself," she said.
