Mithun Rai – President of District Youth Congress addressing the protest said, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were two great personalities who sacrificed their lives for the welfare of our country. Indira Gandhi had brought about the Land Reforms Act and eight to nine nations have launched stamps in her name. Rajiv Gandhi provided rights to franchise for the youth who attained 18 years of age. He also brought revolution in the sector of information technology. But the central government has withdrawn their stamps, he said.
