Taking a swipe at the BJP-RSS on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birth anniversary, the Congress on Friday said selfless icons would have been horrified by their misappropriation by an ideology that, in the words of Patel himself, had created an atmosphere that made the ghastly tragedy of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination possible.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh took a swipe at the Modi government and claimed that since 2014 especially, history has been subject to brazen misrepresentation and distortion by “G2 and their ecosystem”.
“Today as a grateful nation celebrates Sardar Patel@150 we must also recall that on February 13, 1949, Jawaharlal Nehru had unveiled a statue of Sardar Patel in Godhra, where the Iron Man of India had started his legal practice. Nehru’s speech on that occasion must be read and re-read to get an insight into their powerful and profound partnership of over three decades,” Ramesh said on X.
