PM Narendra Modi pays tributes to Rajiv Gandhi on his death anniversary

On Sunday, the 32nd anniversary of the former prime minister’s passing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Rajiv Gandhi, a Bharat Ratna.

I pay respect to former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi Ji on his passing anniversary, said Modi in a tweet while visiting Japan for the G7 Summit.

At the Veer Bhoomi earlier in the day, Sonia Gandhi, the chairwoman of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP), Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra presented floral tributes to the former Prime Minister.

Rajiv Gandhi was born on August 20, 1944, and he served as a parliamentary representative for the Amethi district of Uttar Pradesh four times.

Rajiv Gandhi was the sixth Indian prime minister from 1984 to 1989 and was awarded the Bharat Ratna. In 1984, his mother, Indira Gandhi, the country’s first lady, was assassinated; he entered politics shortly after.

In Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, on May 21, 1991, a suicide bomber from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) killed Rajiv Gandhi at a campaign rally. Veer Bhumi, which is near the Yamuna River, is where he was cremated.

National Anti-Terrorism Day is observed on the anniversary of his passing.

When he assumed office at age 40, he was India’s youngest prime minister.
