Rajiv Gandhi's widow Sonia shows exemplary maturity and wisdom
Friday, February 14, 1997
After the brutal murder of Rajiv Gandhi, his widow had shown exemplary maturity and wisdom in keeping her family safely out of the base routine of Congress politics. It is therefore quite surprising that she had at least not publicly renounced any plans to wrangle a Government accommodation for her soon to be married daughter. Congress is not in power and probably will not stage a comeback very soon. In such conditions, she will no doubt have to face adverse comments from all the remaining 13 parties and more, besides the opprobrium of general public which is now very aggressive in hounding out corruption in all forms; legal, illegal, para-legal. This is where the advise of some prominent Mumbai activists like Neela Sattanathan and others as published in Mid-day (14/2),comes in as an timely and sincere, well meaning warning for the couple, not to make their life miserable by signing up as free-booters.
