Overview
- Speaking at the launch of The Nehru Centre India at Jawahar Bhawan in New Delhi on December 5, she said the effort seeks to erase Nehru and dismantle the social, political, and economic foundations he helped build.
- She linked the campaign to an ideology she said had no role in the freedom struggle or Constitution-making and that fostered hatred culminating in Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination.
- Gandhi distinguished legitimate critique from what she called deliberate mischief that distorts Nehru’s words, writings, and actions.
- She urged citizens to defend Nehruvian principles as a commitment to restoring the Constitution’s promise, safeguarding reason from propaganda, and keeping the republic forward-looking.
- Organisers unveiled nehruarchive.in, a fully searchable, freely accessible repository of 100 published volumes of Nehru’s selected works, with no immediate response from the ruling establishment reported.
