		</div><p>India’s former president Pranab Mukherjee, a senior leader of the country’s opposition Congress party, has died aged 84.<br />
Mr Mukherjee had emergency surgery for a blood clot in his brain on August 10 at New Delhi’s Army Hospital Research and Referral.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The hospital said he tested positive for Covid-19 after the surgery and his condition was critical. He remained in a coma after the surgery.<br />
The hospital said his health began declining on Monday after a lung infection resulted in septic shock.<br />
His son, a former MP in India Abhijeet Mukherjee, tweeted in the evening that he had died.</p>
<p>Mr Mukherjee was president from 2012 to 2017, during a long period when the Congress party held power. The office is largely ceremonial in India, with executive powers resting with the prime minister.<br />
Before that, he had been finance, defence and foreign minister for three separate prime ministers and helped manage their fractious governing coalitions.</p>
