Sanjeev Bhatt conferred Mother Teressa Award 2012
Ahmedabad: Suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt was on Monday conferred the Mother Teresa Memorial International Award for Social Justice for 2012.
“We are today delivering the 5th Mother Teresa Award for social justice to Sanjiv Bhatt, who stood against communal forces to ensure the protection of the vulnerable and insecure minorities,” Harmony Foundation president Dr Abraham Mathai said while delivering the award.
Since Bhatt could not be present to collect the award in person on November 28, 2012, at a specially held ceremony in Mumbai, he was presented the honour here today in the presence of Father Cedric Prakash and sisters from the Missionaries of Charity.
Other recipients of this prestigious award in the past have included Dalai Lama, former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamed, former Pakistan minister Dr Ansar Burney and Baroness Caroline Cox, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords in the UK.
