Divan Dave, CEO of ISM/OmniMD, remembered Indira Gandhi on the 25th anniversary of her assassination. Divan said ‘Today, while India faces a plethora of terrorist attacks, no political leader is able to take any decisive action. We need a leader like Indira Gandhi, who reduced the threat of Pakistan by creating Bangladesh in six days of war.” Remembering meeting Indiarajee personally as a young boy Divan said ‘While my Grandfather, Shri Ghanshyambhai Oza, was Chief Minister of Gujarat, Indiarajee visited our home for dinner. I as a kid remembered plenty of politicians and dignitaries coming to our home.” Before that, when my grandfather was India’s industrial development minister, my brother and I used to stand outside our home at 15, Safdarganj Road while Indiarajee lived at 1, Safdarganj Road. Many times we saw her travelling in a white open Jeep around 10:00 AM to attend Parliament meetings. India’s Prime Minister (PM), Indiarajee was free and daring. Today, almost all politicians have to travel in bullet proof cars with an entourage of blackcat commandos. What a shame.”
