Priyanka Gandhi, Congress general secretary, condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly misrepresenting Jawaharlal Nehru's words during a parliamentary debate. Modi's remarks, suggesting Nehru viewed Indians as lazy and of low intelligence, drew sharp rebuke from Gandhi. She shared an audio clip of Nehru's speech, clarifying that he encouraged self-reliance and hard work post-independence. Gandhi argued that Modi's distortion not only tarnishes Nehru's legacy but also reflects bitterness towards India's freedom struggle. Criticizing the focus on one family, Modi's comments sparked a political spat, with Gandhi questioning the dignity of his position.
