PM pays tribute to Indira Gandhi
Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, congratulated Balraj Puri, an eminent journalist, who had been conferred the 24th Indira Gandhi award for National Integration in New Delhi on Saturday.
Addressing the gathering, Singh said,” Indiraji’s contribution to nation building and national integration is unparalleled. Her commitment to national unity and integrity and to the cause of secularism is too well known to need an reiteration. Even twenty five years after her martyrdom, her legacy remains as strong and durable as ever and her vision still guides and inspires us and it will continue to do so for ages to come. As we pay homage to Indiraji, we should also re-dedicate ourselves to the ideals and values that she embodied. That indeed would be the best way to honour her memory.”
