Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy has strongly condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks on India’s first PM Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Narayana Reddy described Modi’s remarks against Pandit Nehru accusing him of dividing the nation to become Prime Minister as an insult for all the martyrs who laid down their lives for independence. He said it was highly unfortunate that PM Modi made a false and irresponsible statement on the floor of Lok Sabha to score a point in the Delhi Assembly election. “When the Prime Minister himself can twist the historical facts in Lok Sabha, then one can imagine what ordinary BJP workers can do outside,” he said.

Narayana Reddy reminded that Shyma Prasad Mukherjee, who later formed Jan Sangh, was the Industries Minister in Pandit Nehru joined his cabinet. “It is ridiculous that followers of people who tried to betray freedom movement and acted as spies of British are now distributing certificates of patriotism. They are now questioning the intentions and ambitions of freedom fighters who sacrificed everything for the country,” he said.
