New Delhi: The Congress party on Sunday paid tributes to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on his 79th birth anniversary.

“Papa, the dreams you had for India overflow from these priceless memories,” Gandhi posted on X in Hindi.
“Your mark is my way – understanding the struggles and dreams of every Indian, listening to the voice of Mother India.”
पापा, आपकी आंखों में भारत के लिए जो सपने थे, इन अनमोल यादों से छलकते हैं।
आपके निशान मेरा रास्ता हैं – हर हिंदुस्तानी के संघर्षों और सपनों को समझ रहा हूं, भारत मां की आवाज़ सुन रहा हूं। pic.twitter.com/VqkbxoPP7l
