Rajasthan: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said, that his grand mother and father were killed by them but he is not afraid of being killed in Rajasthan on a emotional tone to grab people’s attention. Rahul said Speaking at a rally here and kicking his election campaign in the state, Rahul attacked BJP by saying that it is the party which is communalizing the country and taking it on a wrong track. People used to be scared of my grandmother but I would never be. Her assistant would ask me what her mood was like. The pain I experienced on that day I experienced again when my father died. It felt like someone had ripped my chest open. Remembering the day he came to know of Indira Gandhi’s assassination, ‘It was like my heart had been torn apart’”, Rahul said. One can get angry in a moment, but it takes years to build trust.
Rahul Gandhi said, they go to Muzaffarnagar, Gujarat or Kashmir and spread hatred. We have to go in and battle the fire. He recounted Indira Gandhi’s assassination in 1984 by her Sikh bodyguards. My security officer told me my grandmother had been shot. My legs were trembling. Priyanka and I were taken home and on the road there was grandmother’s blood and in a room there was the blood on my friends, his said. The Congress leader, who was 14 then, said he was sent home from school when the news came. His grandmother’s assassins, Beant Singh and Satwant Singh, Mr Gandhi said, had played badminton with him. I had two friends Beant Singh and Satwant Singh; they taught me how to play badminton. They were my friends. In 1984 I was in the garden I met Beant Singh and he asked me where does your grandmother sleep, is her security adequate? If somebody throws a grenade at you, he told me how to lie down. At that time I did not understand what he meant. Years later I understood that Satwant Singh and Beant Singh were going to throw a grenade at her during Diwali.”
