It was his firm resolution to pay homage to late Mrs. Indira Gandhi after her tragic assassination on 31st October, 1984. The journey to Teenmurti Bhawan was not easy. An entry into the Bhawan on 1st November was a Himalayan task. Hatred was writ large on the faces of the visitors waiting at the Teenmurti circus. The gates were forcefully closed by the police in his presence. Was he able to pay homage? What happened to the Sikh gentleman in the PHD water tanker carrier? What happened on the streets of Delhi during these three days? To get these answers, read his book Lal Qilla in Tears-Post Indira-Assassination Days in Delhi, a mixture of adventure and history. A must-read for those who are interested in the history of the aftermath of the assassination of the then Prime Minister from eyewitness accounts.
