INDIAN Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday remembered former prime minister Indira Gandhi on her death anniversary.

He tweeted: “I join my fellow countrymen & women in remembering former PM Smt. Indira Gandhi on her Punya Tithi.”

Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards at her residence in New Delhi because they were angry about the Indian Army attack on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, which had been occupied by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala and his Sikh militants.
