INDIRA GANDHI SIDELINED BY BJP By: Stephen Dias Dona Paula
31st October is a day dedicated to two stalwarts of India namely, Sardar Vallabhai Patel and Indira Gandhi. However, it is pertinent to note that Sardar Vallabhai Patel has been honoured by installing of a very big statue in Gujarat supposedly the tallest statue in the world with much pomp and publicity. What is astonishing is that it is also the 34th death anniversary of Smt. Indira Gandhi at the hands of assassin. The BJP government at the centre has however not even mentioned the death anniversary of Indira Gandhi. In the history of political assassinations very few leaders have been the target of their own disgruntled bodyguards. Why this double standards? Why not commemorate Indira Gandhi death anniversary today? It seems that the BJP leadership at the centre, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the helm is bent on despising Congress leaders only for political motives. Indira Gandhi should also have been honoured and remembered today. Shame on BJP! Stephen Dias Dona Paula mob 9422443110 Sent from my Samsung device
