feroze gandhi, talented and self-made, is the wrong target for BJP when it tries to corner today’s Congress’s first family

Congress party paid tributes to veteran freedom fighter feroze gandhi on his 51st death anniversary on Thursday.

The Bihar-centric political party Janata Dal (United), or JD(U), did what neither the Congress nor the members of the Nehru-Gandhi family have perhaps ever done. Out of the blue, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) wished Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s grandfather Feroze Jehangir Gandhi on the latter’s 110th birth anniversary on September 12.

Congressmen on Thursday paid homage to freedom fighter and former parliamentarian feroze gandhi on his 62nd death anniversary. Partymen held a programme at Parsi cemetery at Mumfordganj and garlanded the grave of the leader and recalled his contribution in nation building.

A touching moment unfolded in Rae Bareli when a local family presented Rahul Gandhi with his grandfather feroze gandhi's driving license. Preserved for decades, the document, described as an 'amanat' or trust, was a cherished heirloom. Rahul Gandhi, visibly pleased, promptly shared a photograph of the historical memento with his mother, marking a significant personal connection to his family's past.

On the eve of Rahul’s visit, the focus of authorities was back on his grandfather feroze gandhi’s grave in Mumfordganj.

On the second consecutive day, there was uproar on Wednesday over the introduction of hourly parking charges and revision in monthly pass charges.

Indira Gandhi contested from two seats in 1980 -- Rae Bareli and Medak in Telangana -- and chose to retain the Medak seat. Arun Nehru won the 1980 bypoll and subsequently in 1984. From Arun Nehru, who was late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's right-hand man, to Sheila Kaul, another Gandhi kin, Rae Bareli returned several of the Gandhi family members and aides to the Lok Sabha. The seat was held by Congress' R P Singh in the 1960 bypoll after the demise of feroze gandhi, and by another Congress leader Baij Nath Kureel in 1962.

It is worth mentioning that TOI had published a news item dated December 30, 2007, mentioning the negligence towards the grave, but that too failed to evoke any response, either from officials or the Congress party.

Visitors to feroze gandhi market can heave a sigh of relief as the municipal authorities finally re-allotted the tenders of parking lots to a new contractor on Monday.

Once again the anti-encroachment drive by the municipal corporation (MC) proved a damp squib as following a protest by the market association the tehbazaari and building branch staff of the civic body failed to kick off the drive at the feroze gandhi market on Wednesday.
