आज आतंकवाद विरोध दिवस है लेकिन जरूरत हर पल आतंकवाद के विरोध में खड़े रहने की है. इस आतंकवाद ने हमारे हजारों हजार भारतवासियों की जान ले ली. इसने हमारे दो प्रधानमंत्रियों, इंदिरा जी और राजीव जी की जान ले ली. न जाने कितनी मांग की सिंदूर मिटा दी. अब और नहीं...! इस आतंकवाद को…
तकनीक की जिस दुनिया में आज हम अपने शौर्य का शानदार प्रदर्शन कर रहे हैं, भारत में उस तकनीक का मार्ग प्रधानमंत्री के रूप में श्री राजीव गांधी जी ने प्रशस्त किया था. उनकी दूरदृष्टि गजब की थी. विनम्र आदरांजली!
