Rajiv Gandhiji A unique personality

Rajiv Gandhi was in favour of sustained dialogue in politics. In an interview given to Mrs Pushpa Bharti during her visit to Japan, she said, “Politics should be the politics of dialogue with the people.”

Rajiv Ji believed that without dialogue, trust cannot be created and politics cannot exist without faith. Applying this mutual dialogue politics, they signed the Punjab, Assam and Mizoram agreements, which brought to an end the years of turmoil, unrest and violent activities in these states.

Rajiv Gandhi Humanitarian and sensitive politician

Being a sensitive politician, his service to the suffering humanity was his priority. He reached Bhopal immediately after the Bhopal gas tragedy incident, leaving the election campaign.

He preferred service to humanity rather than campaigning. Healed the pain and suffering of the gas victims. Bhopal gas victims also realized that they too have some sympathy which they are worried about.

Rajiv Ji consoled the orphaned children, helpless elders and weeping women, enduring them.

He immediately came to meet the gas victims at Bhopal’s Hamidia Hospital and inquired about the treatment of the victims and gave necessary instructions to the Madhya Pradesh government to provide quick assistance to the gas victims.

After the election, he created a separate “cell” for the Bhopal gas victims in the Prime Minister’s Office. For the treatment of Bhopal gas victims properly, they get appropriate compensation, for this, they prepared an action plan for the relief and rehabilitation of the gas victims and started implementing it in a planned manner.

Village-to-village visits, dialogue and solutions to world problems

Rajivji continued to visit the rural areas of the country. In Madhya Pradesh and other states, he went to such areas where the light of development had not reached. He went to the doors of poor, downtrodden, exploited, oppressed and vulnerable people living in remote areas and understood their problems and tried to overcome them.

In fact, there are many instances in which he got involved in the pain and suffering of the victims irrespective of safety and protocol.

He wanted to see such a golden India in the poor’s hut, in which the golden text of prosperity was written and there, “Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah, Survey Santu Niramaya: Survey Bhadrani Pashintu Ma Kashtin Dukhabha Bhavet”, can be seen as an interview, ie Rajiv Ji.

The efforts of all were to be happy, to be free from all diseases, to be a witness to all auspicious times, and no one had to be a part of suffering.

In areas of the country which have been devastated by natural disasters such as the Maha Chakravat in Orissa, earthquake in Gujarat, drought and flooding in some areas of the country, Rajiv Ji, while being the Prime Minister, helped the affected people with all their life.

He took systematic and effective steps to deal with natural disasters. Relief and rehabilitation work went on smoothly.

In Sri Lanka, there was an ethnic conflict between the Tamils ​​and the Singhal’s, as a result of which lakhs of Tamilians started coming to India as refugees.

The Sri Lankan government was neither able to stop the Tamils ​​from being persecuted by the Singhals nor to protect the Tamils.

At such a time, at the request of the then Sri Lankan President, Mr Jayawardene, Rajivji sent his peace army to Sri Lanka to stop the violence. The efforts of the Indian Peace Keeping Force established peace in Sri Lanka and protected the Tamils.

Rajiv Gandhi, on the occasion of the Summit of the Non-Aligned Countries of Harare (Zimbabwe), proposed the establishment of the “Africa Dictionary” to raise the morale of the countries fighting for the survival of the oppressive policies of the apartheid government of South Africa.

Got it done. 45 countries of the world contributed to this and a huge amount of 25 billion dollars was collected in the Africa dictionary.
