"Indira Gandhi was the first female prime minister of India and is the longest serving prime minister of India to date," Congressman Donald McEachin said in a tweet.
"She fought, to great success, for agricultural reform and Indian independence. Today we are proud to honour her achievements and legacy. #WomensHistoryMonth," the Democratic lawmaker from Virginia's fourth Congressional District said in a tweet.
