OpIndia had defined intimately why Buddhadeb Bhattacharya and singer Sandhya Mukherjee rejected the Padma honour. It is a longtime process that earlier than the announcement of the identify for such civilian honours, the federal government seeks the consent of the possible awardees. If anybody conveys any objection or exhibits unwillingness, she or he is just not named.
