New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday paid tribute to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her death anniversary.

"My tributes to my grandmother & former PM, Smt Indira Gandhi Ji on the anniversary of her martyrdom." Several Congress leaders including party interim president Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh amongst others also paid homage to Indira Gandhi at the Shakti Sthal in New Delhi.

Paying homage to Indira, West Bengal Chief Minister applauded the former Prime Minister's leadership during the 1971 war.

"Homage to former Prime Minister Indira Ji on her death anniversary. We remember her great contribution to the nation and also her leadership during the 1971 War," she tweeted.
