On the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the death of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge paid heartfelt tributes to the former prime minister. Rajiv Gandhi served as the 6th Prime Minister of India, serving from 1984 to 1989.

Rajiv Gandhi was credited with beginning a technological revolution in the country with initiatives such as taking on theNarula Committee to propel India towards becoming a knowledge-based society, and driving the digital revolution in the country through the establishment of CCIT. Under his government, the nation witnessed a strong push for the development of science and technology, and a digital initiative.

His sudden death led to immense grief across the nation, where he was widely admired for his humility and compassion.

In recent news, Rahul Gandhi continues to push for the continuation of the digital revolution agenda that Rajiv Gandhi began, with the recent focus on digital rights and online privacy, as well -- continuing the efforts of past generations to propel India towards its vision of a "knowledge society"

May Rajiv Gandhi's legacy continue to inspire countless generations to come.

Go!
