Congress now tasting fallout of Indira’s dictatorship
NEW DELHI, May 25: With slain Indian leader Rajiv Gandhi cremated In an atmosphere of national gloom and despair, his fractious Congress Party turned attention to an uncertain future today, reports Reuter.
Top Congress officials arranged to meet to decide who should lead them into the remaining phases of a general election, having failed to persuade Gandhi's Italian-born widow Sonia to take on the role.
Without a member of the Nehru dynasty at its head. Congress has no nationally-known figure to lead it at a moment of serious crisis for India, deepened by a woman suicide bomber who blew up Gandhi at an election rally on Tuesday.
India's ills — insurgencies, caste violence, religious divisions. its bloodiest election campaign and a major economic crisis — were largely put aside for a few hours on Friday as Gandhi was given a state funeral.
The mood was more sad than angry with no repetition of the mayhem that followed the 1984 assassination of Gandhi's mother and predecessor. Indira Gandhi, by Sikh bodyguards.
Ulen, at least 3.000 Sikhs were killed in revenge. A memorial will be built io Rajiv Gandhi where he was cremated on the banks of the Jamuna, a tributary of the Ganges river sacred to Hindus.
It will stand alongside others to his mother and nonviolence advocate Mahatma Gandhi, who was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic shortly after leading India to independence from Britain In 1947.
Jawaharlal Nehru. India's.
ISLAMABAD. May 25 : Finance Minister SartaJ Aziz was on Friday quoted as saying Pak istan would not cut its defence budget despite financial constraints because of a perceived threat from neighbouring India. reports Reuter.
In remarks published by local newspapers, he said Pakistan could not risk reducing defence spending.
,On Thursday Aziz is to announce the national budget for the financial year beginning on July 1 which he said was likely to have a huge deficit.
Pakistan has always < lied Its rivalry with India for a continuous increase in defence first Prime Minister, fa tlicr of Indira Gandhi and grandfather to Rajiv Gandhi is also remembered there
Between them, the Nehru dynasty had ruled India for all but five years since independence.
Rajtv Gandhi's assassination eliminated all previous predictions on the outcome of the election, already hard to call.
Polling had started on
spending, and Aziz said "dangers to Pakistan's security have increased because of the situation across the border becoming uncertain and instable".
This was a reference to the assassination this week of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and tension between the two countries over a Muslim revolt In Indian-ruled Kashmir.
"We can not give second priority to our defence under the prevailing geo-political conditions in the region," he saki. Monday. Congress, challenged from both left and right, had been expected to be the biggest party but without a mu Jorlty
Congress promptly elected Sonia Gandhi its leader tn an overt attempt to use her as a magnet for sympathy votes in the remaining 60 per cent of voting, postponed to June 12 and 15.
Known for her dislike of politics. Sonia Gandhi said no. politely, but firmly.
Those who know her say she is highly unlikely to change her mind, despite appeals for her to reconsider.
This leaves Congress groping for a leader as it confronts the- surging right-wing. Hindu revivalist Bharatiya Janata Party and the left-leaning National Front alliance that has eaten into traditional Congress support among Muslims and low castes.
In India, say "Rajiv" and it could only mean Gandhi, even in the remotest village.
Congress has no one left so widely known.
That was largely the fault of Indira Gandhi. She systematically undermined any potential challenger, many of whom quit and are now in the non-BJP opposition.
Those who stayed are either regional party bosses reluctant to let each other take over or those with standing tn the party but no political base
Most of the betting is on former Foreign Minister P.V Narasimha Rao. one of those with no political base
Analysts say it would make sense to appoint him interim leader to get the party through elections. He has been in poor Jjcalth and is the main compromise candidate.
But he is not a dynamo and there arc still questions about whether Congress can garner a sympathy vote. Some analysts think Gandhi's killing might usher votes towards the BJP with its image of discipline, competence and stem line on law and order
Gandhi's death not only ends the Nehru hold on power It could herald the demise of the Congress Party and rad I rally change India's future.
