New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi paid homage to his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on his 28th death anniversary on Tuesday...
During his alleged lavish holiday in December 1987, former PM Rajiv Gandhi is also said to have jumped into a lagoon and saved an injured beached whale.
Sam Pitroda and the Congress have been under fire from the BJP which alleged that Pitroda had dismissed the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by saying, "Hua to hua, kya hua (it's happened, so what).
In an interview with Anandabazar Patrika Shankar waxed eloquent about her many objections to the pallu not covering the bosom area of Gen Z women. She called them ‘women of the street’.
With an educated & skilled workforce, Tamil Nadu has a burgeoning industrial sector which has scored massive investments in automobiles, electronics, and even footwear.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
No one can deny that the Congress has survived many a trial by fire over the last seventy odd years. The stalwart of this party Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, then two of its Prime Ministers who happened to be from the same family were assassinated. Yet this party, especially the much maligned family of Nehru has, to this day, never shied away from the call to serve our motherland. The BJP has stepped on to the National leadership scene only recently, and so far patriotism for it has only meant loud sloganeering. No one wants sad incidents to happen to anyone, but should Destiny wish to test BJP’s mettle through assassination of its leaders in years to come, I hope this party will be able to demonstrate the same sterling resolve to serve the nation that the Congress has demonstrated.
I have never been a member of the Congress party, but I wish to offer my respects to the memory of our late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi who lost his life this day.
Sir, this is a brilliant piece of writing. No wonder, why you are so adored.
An obvious question to ask is did the author share these details with the commission set up to investigate Rajiv assassination?
