डॉ. मुखर्जी जी की विद्वता और ज्ञान सम्पदा का लोहा उनके राजनीतिक विरोधी भी मानते थे। वो जानते थे कि उस समय की सरकार जिन विचारों और नीतियों पर चल रही थी उससे देश की समस्याओं का निराकरण सम्भव नहीं होगा। इसलिए उन्होंने राष्ट्रहित में सत्ता सुख को त्याग लंबे संघर्ष का जटिल मार्ग चुना।— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) June 23, 2022
डॉ.मुखर्जी का मानना था कि एक राष्ट्र का उज्ज्वल भविष्य उसकी अपनी मूल संस्कृति और चिंतन की मजबूत नींव पर ही संभव है। इसीलिए उन्होंने सांस्कृतिक राष्ट्रवाद का एक वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोण व वैकल्पिक राजनीतिक सोच देश के सामने रखी। उनके वही विचार आज देश को हर क्षेत्र में आगे ले जा रहे हैं।— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) June 23, 2022
