I criticise Jawaharlal Nehrus policies, not his intention: Rajnath Singh #IndiaNEWS #National ,Politics,Top Story
Jammu, July 24 (IANS) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that those criticising the countrys first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru must remember not to question either his intention or integrity.
In his address at an event to commemorate the Kargil Vijay Diwas, he said that there are a lot of people who criticise Nehru and that I also belong to a political party I do not want to criticise any Prime Minister of the country.
I also do not question the intention and integrity of any Prime Minister. There was no failure in their intention, he said, in a reference to the 1962 India-China war.
We indeed faced defeat in 1962, but India is no longer that same nation. India is one of the strongest nations now. I dont target the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru for the 1962 debacle. I criticise the policies India adopted then, he asserted.
He said today India is self-sufficient in the field of defence.
India speaks today and the World listens. India is no longer weak. We can criticise anyones policies, but we cannot afford to cast a doubt on anyones intention, he said.
