Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who fell to the bullets of her bodyguards 25 years ago, was remembered on Saturday across the country which recalled her momentous decisions, some of which were hailed and riled in equal measure even in her life time.
In the national capital, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul paid floral tributes to the late leader at her memorial 'Shakti Sthal' on the banks of river Yamuna.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Union Ministers Sushil Kumar Shinde and A K Antony, Congress leaders Ahmed Patel, Ajay Maken and R K Dhawan, for long her political aide, were among the others who paid homage to the late prime minister.
Gandhi fell victim to her own bodyguards – Satwant Singh, Beant Singh and Kehar Singh -- who pumped 31 bullets into the 66-year-old charismatic leader.
