Information Minister Ambika Soni was asked by a reporter why the I&B department had put out such massive advertisements about Indira Gandhi. She snapped back "Don¿t the newspapers keep asking for ads- should we stop giving ads then?" The reporter persisted bravely: why did the government feel the need to celebrate the Indira legacy so proactively ?  Soni retorted: "Do you disagree that Indira Gandhi was one of the best Prime Ministers that India produced and that her legacy should be remembered?" The reporter shut up.
