“If any institution accords respect, you accept that with utmost humility. If I have been conferred with an honorary sports doctorate by the university, it is because I played cricket and people have showered their love and affection for that. I am honoured to be conferred with the degree,” the 41-year-old Harbhajan said.
Harbhajan’s name was recommended to the French University by noted industrialist Dr Harcharan Singh Ranauta, vicepresident of Indian Federation of United Nations Associations (IFUNA).
