It’s now two decades since it happened but the horror still haunts me.
It seems like last night, though it happened on the night of May 21, 1991.
Congress senior leader G K Moopanar and his political pupil Jayanthi Natarajan were bending over the crumpled body lying face down. Moopanar hesitantly tried turning the body to see the face, to check if it was Rajiv Gandhi.
There was no face left, not much of the chest either. The blast had blown off most of the handsome man, and all of India’s hopes of seeing him return as Prime Minister and complete his dream of modernising India.
Thank God, LTTE along with its ruthless Chief, Pirabakaran has been exterminated!
