It was while speaking on the Upper House on Monday, Home Minister attacked first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for two major mistakes from his part concerning the Kashmir problem – one, ordering an “untimely” ceasefire and second, taking the issue to the United Nations. “If there was no untimely ceasefire (during the war with Pakistan), there wouldn”t have been a PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir). Our country was winning, had he (Nehru) waited for two days, entire Kashmir would have been ours,” NDTV quotes as Amit Shah is saying.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi also added that these are all distraction, “basic issue is caste census and participation, in whose hands is the money of the country going,” reports PTI. BJP don”t want to discuss the said issue, they are afraid of it and run away from it, said Congress MP.
