The ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies on Thursday paid rich tributes to the memory of the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, saying he laid the foundation for digital India which has made possible the current ‘work from home’ phase that the country is witnessing in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Leading the state in paying homage, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said it was the late Rajiv Gandhi who laid the foundation of the country’s computer and telecommunication sector.
“Today it has become critical for the nation’s progress. The contributions of Rajiv Gandhi to development of science, technology and modernization cannot be overlooked. We must strive to root out terror and violence from humanity which would be a real tribute to him,” Thackeray said.
Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said Gandhi pioneered the computer science revolution and the strides made by India in the technology and telecom sectors was because of his far-sightedness.
