PM Modi pays tributes to Indira Gandhi on her birth anniversary

New Delhi, Nov 19 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid tributes to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her birth anniversary.

“Tributes to former PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi on her birth anniversary,” the Prime Minister said.

Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi was an Indian stateswoman and central figure of the Indian National Congress.

She was the first and, to date, the only female Prime Minister of India.

Gandhi belonged to the Nehru–Gandhi family and was the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Indian prime minister.

Despite her surname Gandhi, she is not related to the family of Mahatma Gandhi.

She served as Prime Minister from January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 until her assassination in October 1984, making her the second longest-serving Indian prime minister after her father.
