Both the Home Minister and the Prime Minister once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. They have no answers to their “present-day failures” and they choose to “divert, distract, distort, and defame,” said Congress leaders
BHOPAL — The veteran Congress leaders on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their criticism of India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru in their remarks in the Lok Sabha, saying they have no answers to their “present-day failures” and they choose to “divert, distract, distort, and defame”.
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and veteran Congress leader Kamal Nath said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned former Prime Minister late Jawaharlal Nehru’s name 14 times during his speech on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the Parliament.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned Jawaharlal Nehru’s name 14 times during his speech on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the Lok Sabha. It is very strange, where did he drag Pandit Nehru into it.”
Nath made these remarks in Bhopal upon reaching the Assembly to attend the third day of the Monsoon session.

The veteran Congress leadermade these remarks responding to PM Modi’s fierce attack at the INDIA bloc, especially the Congress, during his speech on the Pahalgam terror attack and ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, “Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the HM and the PM once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha too today.”
“They have NO answers to their present-day failures. They have NO answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions,” he added.
Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame, he said.
“The Home Minister claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India’s second greatest distorian. Top honours in this regard is reserved for the man qualified in Entire Poli(e)tical Science,” Ramesh said.
During his speech on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the Parliament on Tueaday PM Modi had said the Congress government under former PM Nehru lost more than 38,000 km of territory of Aksai Chin.
He also criticised the Indus Waters Treaty agreement that the first Prime Minister Nehru signed with Pakistan as a “big blunder”.
“Before asking why PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond — who let it go. India is still suffering the pain of mistakes committed by previous Congress governments, starting from Jawaharlal Nehru,” PM Modi had said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also hit out at Nehru when he intervened in the debate.
He had said that a blunder by the main opposition party led to the creation of Pakistan and claimed that PoK was the legacy of first Prime Minister Nehru. — With inputs from IANS
