Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has posted an emotional tribute to her father, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, on the occasion of his 75th birth anniversary. The Congress leader posted a short poem by American poet EE Cummings with a throwback photo of herself with her father.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's post read, "From my father, I learned how to listen to people's stories and find a place in my heart for them no matter how contrary to mine they might be. From him, I learned how to keep smiling and keep walking no matter how difficult the path might be."
Rajiv Gandhi, the nation's sixth Prime Minister, became the youngest to hold the post when he was sworn in at the age of 40, after the 1984 assassination of his mother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He was assassinated in 1991 in Tamil Nadu. His death anniversary is observed as Anti-Terrorism Day.
