"(Indira Gandhi) Took 32 Bullets For Country, But...": Row On Vijay Diwas | Read

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has ripped into the "misogynist BJP government" after it seemed to skip any mention of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during today's Vijay Diwas celebrations - today marks the 50th anniversary of India's victory over Pakistan in 1971. Ms Gandhi Vadra's brother Rahul Gandhi was similarly scathing; the Lok Sabha MP said Indira Gandhi, his grandmother, "took 32 bullets for the country (she was shot dead in 1984) but her name was not even mentioned at a government event".
