Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hailed her as a great example of woman power.
Rahul paid floral tributes to Indira at her memorial Shakti Sthal in Delhi.
"My grandmother served the country fearlessly till the last moment — her life is a source of inspiration for us," the former Congress chief tweeted in Hindi. "A great example of women power, humble tributes to Mrs. Indira Gandhi on her martyrdom day," he said.
मेरी दादी अंतिम घड़ी तक निडरता से देश सेवा में लगी रहीं- उनका जीवन हमारे लिए प्रेरणा स्त्रोत है।

आपका जीवन साहस, निडरता और देशप्रेम का संदेश है।
आपका जीवन आदर्शों की राह पर चलते हुए न्याय के लिए लड़ते रहने का संदेश है। #IndiraGandhi#लड़की_हूँ_लड़_सकती_हूँ pic.twitter.com/qbI414t7Li

दूसरों की सेवा में खुद को समर्पित करना ही स्वयं को खोजने का माध्यम है।
