It was amazing to read the that the Central aid package for the tsunami-affected areas has been named after the late Rajiv Gandhi. The chief minister of Tamil Nadu has rightly described this as a blatant attempt to politicise an unprecedented natural disaster. This is probably an understatement. How can anyone associate the name of the late Rajiv Gandhi with an aid package being given in 2005? It is nothing but sycophancy and a shameless attempt to perpetuate the name of the Gandhi family
