New Delhi : Amid noisy protests in the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tore into the Congress by saying that it (Congress) keeps telling the nation that India got democracy due to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the Congress. “Is this their reading of India’s history? What arrogance is this?”
Modi said India did not get democracy due to Nehru and asked the Congress leaders to “please look at our rich history where there are many examples of rich democratic traditions that date back centuries ago”.
“Democracy is integral to this nation and is in our culture.”
