Anti-Terrorism Day is being observed today across the nation. The objective behind the observance of this day is to wean away the youth from terrorism and the cult of violence by highlighting the sufferings of common people and showing how it is prejudicial to the national interest.
The day is marked by a pledge-taking ceremony among other activities. It was on this day in 1991 that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi fell to the designs of terrorists.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sharing a social media post, has paid tributes to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on his death anniversary.
