Amidst a heated exchange of accusations, the BJP criticized India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, for allegedly compromising the nation’s interests to foreign powers. BJP’s Sambit Patra claimed that Nehru allowed foreign influence in the Prime Minister’s office, leading to compromises in India’s sovereignty. Patra accused Nehru of making deliberate decisions that harmed India’s interests.
Speaking at a press conference, Patra highlighted instances where foreign powers allegedly had undue access to Nehru’s government. He specifically mentioned the CIA’s influence in Nehru’s Secretariat and the infiltration of KGB agents. Patra questioned why Nehru’s government allowed such compromises to India’s security and sovereignty.
Patra further criticized Nehru for strategic decisions like gifting Tibet to China and rejecting offers that could have benefited India. He raised concerns about Nehru’s alleged lies in Parliament and posed several questions to the Congress regarding Nehru’s actions. Patra demanded answers on why Nehru made decisions that seemingly compromised India’s interests.
