My father was gentle, loving, kind & affectionate. He taught me to love & respect all beings. To never hate. To forgive.

I miss him.

Rajivji is remembered for his vision and commitment to India. He gave his life for this country. His place in history and in the hearts of all Indians cannot be erased by the false propaganda of a few individuals. #RememberingRajivGandhi pic.twitter.com/buw2ksOkDb

The architect of modern India. A leader we lost way too soon. Some may choose to mock his contribution, but a lot of where we are today, has its foundation laid by this great man. His vision shaped the today for us. Let's never let anyone mislead us. #RememberingRajivGandhi pic.twitter.com/V9K7p29r0a
