PoliticsPhoto: NDTVIndira Gandhi Feared Assassination Plot by George Fernandes
Congress MP Sonia Gandhi revealed in her book 'Beloning: A Journey of Love' that Indira Gandhi feared being assassinated by George Fernandes, then India's defence minister. This fear arose after the 1975 assassination of Bangladesh's Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on Independence Day. Indira Gandhi was warned that Fernandes' group had considered an attack on her, with a letter stating he intended to blow her up in Banaras. She was later assassinated in 1984 by her Sikh bodyguards.
