Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi hit back at Home Minister Amit Shah for his attack on India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, saying the BJP leader probably does not know history and “keeps rewriting” it.
As per PTI report, Gandhi also said the whole matter was about distracting from the issue of caste census and in whose hands the country’s money is going.
Speaking in the Rajya Sabha , Shah had blamed Nehru for the Kashmir problem, pointing to the “mistakes” of ordering an “untimely” ceasefire and taking the issue to the United Nations.
Asked about Shah’s remarks, Gandhi said, “Pandit Nehru dedicated his life for this country. He was in jail for years, Amit Shah ji probably does not know history. I don’t expect that he would know history as he keeps rewriting history.”
“This is all about distraction, basic issue is of caste census and participation, in whose hands is the money of the country going. They (BJP) don’t want to discuss this issue, they are afraid of it and run away from it,” the former Congress president told reporters outside Parliament .
