The Nationalist Congress Party on Monday said the Congress mouthpiece 'Congress Darshan' (Hindi edition) should not rake up decade old issues against former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and party president Sonia Gandhi.

"Sonia has had her own experiences of success and turmoil in the last 20-25 years after Rajiv Gandhi and her mother-in-law's assassination. She has also successfully run Manmohan Government for about ten years," NCP leader Majeed Memon told ANI.

"These things which are being spoken are almost two decades old. It's a matter of history. It need not be raked up again without any justification. I am only wondering as to how Congress' own mouthpiece could just dig up these all ancient maters," he added.

Memon further said that the editor of the mouthpiece Sanjay Nirupam has expressed his regret and apologised for the publication.
