On this day, 34 years ago, on May 21, 1991 (April 8, 1991 in the lunar calendar), former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated. The funeral of Rajiv Gandhi At 10:20 pm on May 21, 1991, former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was killed by a woman laying flowers with a bomb during the campaign in Sri Duperumpudur, 40 kilometers south of Madras, the capital of Tamil Nadu. The news came out and shocked the world. Ra-Gandhi was born in Mumbai, India on August 20, 1944. He entered politics in 1980 and became chairman of the Congress Party (UK) and prime minister in October 1984. After the Congress Party lost in the general election in November 1989, Ra-Gandhi stepped down. The two prime ministers who came to power one after another were both unsustainable due to political instability. The Wolesi Jirga (Lower House) of the Indian Parliament decided to hold an early general election, which kicked off on May 20, 1991. Ra-Gandhi plans to make a comeback and rebuild his ambition. After the assassination of Ra-Gandhi, the Indian Central Bureau of Investigation and a specially established special investigation team immediately began to investigate the case. Finally, it was found that the case was committed by the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. The mastermind was Prahakaran, the general leader of the organization. The commander of the specific operation was Siwaraqian, who was in charge of intelligence work. The person who was wrapped in a bomb and used the opportunity of laying a ceremonial salute to detonate it was Tamil woman Tanu (her real name was Jayatri). In July 1987, when Raji-Gandhi visited Sri Lanka, he signed the "Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Normality in Sri Lanka" with the Prime Minister. As a result, India sent 50,000 peacekeeping troops into Sri Lanka to supervise the ceasefire between Sri Lanka government forces and Tamil rebels. Later, the Indian army was involved in Sri Lanka's civil war and clashed with the Tamil Tigers many times, killing many Tamils. It was not until Ra-Gandhi stepped down that the Indian army withdrew. In order to prevent Ra-Gandhi from returning to power and send troops to suppress the Sri Lankan rebels, the Tamil Tigers carefully planned this incident. After the incident, Indian police captured nearly 500 Tigers across Tamil Nadu and seized the organization's weapons and ammunition depots and underground factories in India. On August 20, the commando team of the national security forces stormed into the hiding place of Siwaraqian and others and found that the seven criminals who assassinated the Ra-Gandhi Action Group had all committed suicide by taking poison. The assassination of Ra-Gandhi aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad. The Indian press called it "a national misfortune" and "an irreparable loss to the country." Prime Minister Shekar announced that a state funeral would be held for him, a national holiday, and flags would be flown at half-mast in honor of his grief. United Nations Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar expressed deep sadness at the untimely death of this "outstanding political leader." December 1988 Deng Xiaoping met with Rajiv Gandhi
