Speaking to media persons, O Ibobi lauded Indira Gandhi as one of the bravest women leaders in the world. She stood for the unity of the country and some organisations despised it. 

“But she remained adamant and even said that if she lost her life for the cause of uniting the country, let it be,” he added. 

Ibobi exhorted every Congress worker to follow the ideals of Indira Gandhi including maintaining equality and secularism, and saving democracy. Only then, we would be truly honouring the late prime minister, he added.
