Modi accuses Indira Gandhi of communal politics

June 05, 2012 17:46

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has questioned late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's secular credentials.

Addressing an award function in Mumbai on Monday, Modi said Indira Gandhi had announced during a campaign in the North East that if Congress was elected, the administration would be run as per the Bible.

"However, no secularists took objection to this statement," he said. Modi said India's North East has a rich history of people who fought for the freedom from the British but claimed they were never honoured after the Independence. "Had their sacrifices been recorded and generations that followed read about them, what would have happened to a particular family for whom history has been changed," Modi alleged without naming the Nehru-Gandhi family.
