Anti- terrorism day was observed all over the country to mark the 21st death anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi. The true quality of this leader was his craving for peace. He left no stone unturned to find lasting peace where ever there appeared turmoil. Punjab accord, Mizoram accord and lastly Sri Lanka accord were signed during his time as Prime Minister of the country. He lost his life killed by LTTE for signing Sri Lanka accord. Sri Lanka was in turmoil then, created by LTTE. Sri Lanka Government could not do anything to end the menace unleashed by LTTE. They were apprehensive how Indians would react in the event of the Lankan Government declaring full-fledged war against the terrorists. Came Rajiv Gandhi Government. Solutions were in store. Prior to that Mizoram saw the return of peace with Laldenga MNF leader getting power handed over to him on altar. Khalistan movement also ended in Punjab after signing Punjab accord. Before signing Punjab accord no democratic process could be performed. Even the scribes worked with revolver in the drawer. Reporters were stabbed even in the Golden temple. After signing Punjab accord elections had been held and Congress party formed Government. Every single individual reaped the benefit of bringing peace in Punjab. Now Punjab is the greatest contributor to GDP. Mizoram too had reaped the benefit of ushering in peace in the state. The tiny state had got peace bonus. But LTTE could not grasp the better side of the accord. The group, which was routed by Sri Lankan Government, committed the gravest mistake in killing Rajiv Gandhi. India Government did not say anything when Sri Lankan Government invaded LTTE dominated areas. There is reason behind that. No wonder peace had dawned in Lanka with the elimination of LTTE supreme. Celebration of anti-terrorism day to mark the death anniversary of the late leader is a fitting tribute to the leader who fought for ushering in peace in the troubled parts of the country and its neighbour. Power to panchayat is also the original idea of Rajiv Gandhi. He knew fund for the common masses had been hijacked. He boldly declared out of Rs one sanctioned by the Government only 15 paisa reaches the beneficiary. Too many changes had occurred. India has benefitted a lot from having great leader. Rajiv also wanted to establish duty free shopping centres one in Manipur and another in Andaman Nicober Island. He thought by establishing such centres too many tourists will visit the places considered alienated by mainland Indians. Now new township, which will have the facilities of duty free shopping is coming up at Moreh, the border town. As we observe the death anniversary we must always remember there is a lot to learn from Rajiv Gandhi.
