Rally in memory of Sardar Patel sidelines Indira's death anniversary
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government stayed away from Indira Gandhi’s memorial.
This was perhaps for the first time when no one from the Central government was present to mark the death anniversary of the former prime minister who was assassinated on this day by her Sikh bodyguards 30 years ago.
PM Modi, however, tweeted: “I join my fellow countrymen and women in remembering former PM Smt. Indira Gandhi on her Punya Tithi (death anniversary).”
