The correct answer is

Indira Gandhi

Fundamental Duties were added to the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee.

They form Part IV-A, Article 51A; ten duties were added in 1976 and an eleventh (education of children aged 6-14) by the 86th Amendment, 2002.

The 42nd Amendment was passed during the Emergency, when Indira Gandhi was Prime Minister (1966-1977).

Hence, Indira Gandhi.
