From my father, I learned how to listen to people’s stories and find a place in my heart for them no matter how contrary to mine they might be.
From him, I learned how to keep smiling and keep walking no matter how difficult the path might be.#RajivGandhi75 #SadbhavanaDiwas pic.twitter.com/O4W8d9cUL5

Congress and most of its leaders remembered the veteran politician with their tributes on social media.
Born on August 20, 1944, Rajiv Gandhi represented Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi parliamentary constituency four times. The seat is now held by his son Rahul Gandhi.
He served as the sixth Prime Minister of India from 1984 to 1989. He took office after the assassination of his mother, then prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1984.
Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) suicide bomber during an election rally in Tamil Nadu’s Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991.
He was cremated at Veer Bhumi, located on the banks of the river Yamuna.
Here are some Twitter posts remembering the stalwart politician on his birth anniversary :
