Anti Terrorism Day
Martyrdom of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi,
also known as Anti Terrorism Day is observed across India on 21 May. The
date so chosen is to commemorate the death anniversary of one of the
most eminent Prime Ministers of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi (20 August 1944
– 21 May 1991). He had been victimized of this menace and to honor and
respect his contributions, the day is celebrated on annual basis. This
day is also observed to make people aware of the ongoing terrorist
activities and the precautions to be taken by the commoners to prevent
these acts of terrorism.
Promoting unity, peace and harmony across the nation has been one of
the major motives behind celebrating this day. Every year, a two minutes
silence is observed in whole India to mourn for the loss of Shri Rajiv
Gandhi and many other innocent people who have been victimized by the
terrorism.
