"If I die a violent death as some fear and a few are plotting, I know the violence will be in the thought and action of the assassin, not in my dying-for no hate is dark enough to overshadow the extent of my love for my people and my country, no force is strong enough to divert me from my purpose and my endeavour to take this country forward." - Indira Gandhi
