GUWAHATI: The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) celebrated the 106th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna awardee Indira Gandhi with a day-long programme at the party office at Rajiv Bhawan in Guwahati on Sunday.

A free health camp was also organized at Rajiv Bhawan on the occasion.

In the memorial meeting, as a keynote speaker, senior party leaders and former MP Bishnu Prasad said, "Indira Gandhi had made outstanding contributions to world peace as the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement.

APCC general secretary Bipul Gogoi elaborated on the overall biography of Indira Gandhi.
