New Delhi, Oct 31 (IANS): Congress leaders on Sunday paid floral tributes to Indira Gandhi on her 37th death anniversary and remembered her lifelong dedication and service to the nation.

Rahul Gandhi paid tributes at Shakti Sthal, and later went to Indira Gandhi Memorial, where he along with Congress president Sonia Gandhi paid homage to the late former PM on anniversary of her martyrdom day.

Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet, "my grand mother served the nation without fear and her life is inspiration and great example of women power".

The Congress party also hailed Indira Gandhi for her lifelong dedication and service to the nation. It tweeted: "She represented strength.

She epitomised sacrifice.

She personified service.

A billion salutes to the Iron Lady of India, our very first woman Prime Minister, a true Bharat Ratna, Smt Indira Gandhi, on her death anniversary."

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted, "World leaders will gather in Glasgow soon. But Indira Gandhi was ONLY PM, other than the host, to attend 1st UN Conference on Environment, Stockholm, in 1972. She made a historic speech & created huge impact. She walked the talk on environment. We mark her death anniversary today."

Indira Gandhi was martyred in 1984 when her guards opened fire on her on this day, when she was the Prime Minister of the country.

    I feel she is blamed for things she never did. The sikhs militants already possessed weapons made from china and pakistan. So its ideal for the army to retaliate in return.

    A towering personality, a friend of the poor, a visionary, a dynamic leader who steered the country with courage and dedication for nearly 17 years as PM. Her policies and decisions will long be remembered to have made India a world leader. Green Revolution, Milk Revolution, Bank & LIC Nationalisation that enabled the poorest of the poor to avail the benefits, "Equal Remuneration Act" which put an end to gender discrimination; Humbling Pakistan in the Indo-Pak War and the birth of Bangladesh which stunned the US and the World powers, Progress in Science & Technology, Corruption free era & all Government offices functioning on time and with punctuality during the emergency - the list of her achievements are unending.
