Not afraid of being assassinated like pa, grandma: Rahul Gandhi

Jodhpur, Oct 23: Speaking about Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi's assassinations, Rahul asserted that he is not afraid of being killed."My grandmother was killed. My father was assassinated and perhaps I may also be killed one day. I am not bothered. I had to tell you what I felt from the heart," Rahul said and vowed to oppose BJP's politics.

Rahul, whose grandmother Indira Gandhi was killed by her Sikh bodyguards during the militancy days in Punjab and father Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by LTTE, also narrated an incident of an MLA from Punjab visiting his office recently and telling him that had they met 20 years ago, he would have killed the Congress Vice President due to anger.

"Anybody can get angry. The anger is deliberately put into people. Politicians do it. Interested party does it. And then the common man, who is hurt has to carry this anger with him. He moves everywhere with this anger. That is why I am against the politics of BJP. Because what they do is that they hurt (people) for political gains."

He told the gathering, which included a number of Sikhs, that after the assassination of her grandmother, he came to know that the assassins Satwant Singh and Beant Singh wanted lob a grenade at her grandmother on Diwali.

Rahul said it took him 10 15 years to put aside his anger against his friends Beant Singh and Satwant Singh, who were bodyguards of his grandmother.
