BJP gloats over articles slamming Nehru, Sonia
December 28, 2015 18:58
The BJP today gloated over Congress's embarrassment following publication of articles critical of Jawaharlal Nehru and Sonia Gandhi in its
mouthpiece, saying the "truth" it had been "hiding" has come out.
Rubbing salt in the wound of former Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam, who is the editor of the journal, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar "congratulated" him and quipped he was known for such write-ups when he was the editor of the Hindi edition Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Dopahar Ka Saamana'.
Nirupam, who was in Sena before he joined Congress, is also the president of Mumbai Regional Congress Committee, which publishes the magazine 'Congress Darshan'.
Though initially Nirupam sought to wash his hands off the controversy by claiming he had nothing to do with the articles, he later admitted the "mistake" and sacked the editorial content in-charge.
"The Congress journal which is named Congress Darshan should be called 'Satyarth Darshan' (sight of truth). It is significant that it has come on the 131st foundation day of the party. Sardar Patel had maximum support in Congress to become the prime minister but Gandhiji proposed Nehru and kept Patel at a bay.
