Vajpayee calls Indira as "Durga"


In a rare appreciation of ruling party leader in Indian politics by an opposition leader, Vajpayee called Indira gandhi "DURGA" for the way she fought 1971 Indo-Pak war. Indeed the discussion of this war is not eminent here. However, what needs to be noted is that unlike narrow minded leaders, Vajpayee rose above party lines and appreciated a leader(ruling PM) for all the bold steps she took to defend the country.

Do you have any such example of Congress party even praising Mr.Vajpayee for anything for any of his one achievement? Such is the broad mindedness of this matured politician
