‘Stop it once and for all…’ Priyanka’s advice to PM Modi on Nehru

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said during the debate on Vande Mataram in Parliament that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been in office for almost the same amount of time that the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru spent in jail during the freedom struggle. Priyanka made this counterattack for repeatedly criticizing Nehru.

He said that the Prime Minister has been the Prime Minister for 12 years, Jawaharlal Nehru had spent almost the same amount of time in jail for the independence of this country. Then he remained Prime Minister for 17 years. You speak ill of him a lot, but if he had not started ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) you would not have Mangalyaan.

‘Nehru died serving the country’

He said that if he had not started DRDO, Tejas would not have happened, if he had not started IIT and IIM, we would not have been ahead in IT, if he had not started AIIMS, how would we have faced a challenge like Corona? The Congress MP said, ‘Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru lived for the country and died serving the country.’

‘Nehru spent 9 years in jail’

Nehru went to jail 9 times during the freedom struggle. He spent 9 years in jail. He advised to make a list of insults to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He said whether it is 999 or 9999, make a list and then we can decide the time. Like we are debating on Vande Mataram for 10 hours. We are ready to debate this for as long as you want. We should use the precious time of Parliament for the work for which people have elected us. Once we have a good debate, let’s close this chapter forever.

Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘The country will listen to the complaints, what did Indira ji do, what did Rajiv ji do, what is dynasty politics, what were the mistakes of Nehru. Let’s talk about them and end it there. Then we can talk about unemployment and inflation.

Earlier, Priyanka Gandhi had termed the entire discussion of Vande Mataram as politically motivated and said that there are assembly elections in Bengal next year. That is why the government is discussing Vande Mataram.
