In 1984 our prime minister Smt.Indira Gandhi got killed by her own security guards who were Sikhs.We were in Gargi college celebrating the college festival when we heard the news.My first reaction was that she can not die even when i was told than several bulllets were pumped into her body.Such was her image of strong Iron Lady and my thought was what will now happen to my country because at that time she was not only dominant in indian politics but in the world also.
Finally came the news of her death and i wept.I am a strong person and i had even not wept at the demise of my Grand mother or Grand father but some how i can't keep my emotion in control and then suddenly sikh riots broke out in all parts of delhi because it was the first incidence in history that a leader was killed by her own security guards and both of them belonged to the same community.So the wrath of people anger was targeted against the community and they were forced to cut hair to save their lives.My family members locked me in my room so that i can not go out because they knew that i was a college leader and in my anger i can also take the wrong step.
After some time General election of Lok sabha was held and Mr.K.C.Pant son of Shri Govind Vallabh Pant was chosen as candidate from New Delhi seat in Lok
sabha.N.S.U.I the student wing of congress choose d six person to be in charge of his election and i was one of them.Her wife Mrs.Ila Pant used to come regularly to meet us and see the progress.We distributed truck loads of liquor in juggis (hutments) to buy the voters.
We had at our disposal several cars and jeep and all the money from the party.Later when results got declared he got elected.
He recognised our efforts and invited all six of us in his son's wedding and there i met our Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi,our President Shri Giani Zail Singh,Mr.Vasant Saathe and some of the other ministers of that time.Just imagine at the age of 21 years i was dining with the top most leaders of my country.Even my family members were very proud of me for the first time.
But after a while we went to Mr.K.C.Pant office for some work and he told us to wait us at reception and even after one hour he did not called us and we got really angry and left his office without meeting him.
We decided to form our own party to teach the congress party a lesson and we formed our own party called DELHI CHHATRA MORCHA and fought the next university election on our own and won land slide victory in all the seat.Then Congress party realised their mistake and asked us to come back to party but we put a condition that if they promise that in future they will not give ticket to Mr.K.C.Pant from delhi and they agreed to do so and we went back to N.S.U.I.After that he was never given a ticket from Delhi.
