New Delhi: After commenting on the country's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru, Congress leaders are furious at Union Minister Kiren Rijiju. Rijiju had recently commented on the Kashmir issue, referring to Nehru, saying that Nehru had turned down Maharaja Hari Singh's appeal for a Kashmir merger in 1947. Now Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has taunted Rijiju. He termed the Union minister's remarks as the latest entry in the club of 'distortions'.
Jairam Ramesh tweeted today (October 30) that, 'I spoke to a BJP ideologue this morning regarding Kiren Rijiju, a new entry in the club of 'distortions'. Ramesh said that the BJP ideologue sent me a message saying that 'It is one thing to defame Nehru, but here Hari Singh is being elevated as an honest and benevolent hero'. Let us tell you that the whole controversy started with an article by Union Law and Justice Minister Rijiju, in which he said that Nehru had not accepted Maharaja Hari Singh's appeal for the accession of Kashmir and that is why Kashmir is still a problem. made up.
Another Congress leader Anand Sharma has also attacked Rijiju. Sharma said that the Prime Minister or any minister should not do politics on such matters. According to a video released by the Congress, Sharma has said that 'This is a very irresponsible statement. Be it the Prime Minister or any other minister, he should not make such a statement. This is not a political issue. He also said, 'Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India and was a leader of the frontline in the freedom struggle. Nehru remained in jail for many years.'
