New Delhi: Senior Congress leaders, including party’s interim president Sonia Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and former President Pranab Mukherjee, paid tributes to Rajiv Gandhi on his 75th birth anniversary Tuesday.

“India’s strength lies in its unity and diversity. As we remember Shri Rajiv Gandhi on his 75th birth anniversary, we must also remember that his words are now more relevant than ever. We must never allow communal madness to break the bond of unity among us all. #SadbhavanaDiwas,” the Congress wrote on its official Twitter handle.
