Rahul Gandhi shared a speech by Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Twitter in which he had lauded Jawaharlal Nehru's contribution and also thanked the BJP leader for ‘speaking out the truth.’ He tweeted, “Thank you Rajnath Singh ji for speaking the truth to power. Satyamev Jayate.”
The speech was made on November 14, 2015, in which Rajnath Singh had said that Nehru was one of the leaders who participated in the freedom struggle and had also worked towards strengthening the democracy in the country.
The tweet comes after PM Modi, in his reply to a debate in the Lok Sabha on the motion of thanks on the president’s address, had targeted the Nehru-Gandhi family and criticised a remark that the country got democracy due its first PM Nehru. He said, “How can one of the leaders say India got democracy due to Pandit Nehru and Congress Party? Is this their reading of India's history? What arrogance is this.”
