Why did Congress object to Nehru not being named in President Murmu's address

Congress objected to Nehru not being named in President Murmu's address, considering it as part of a campaign to erase him from history.
  • President Murmu's address is traditionally a constitutional document that reflects the government's policy priorities and vision for the nation.
  • Nehru, as the first Prime Minister of India, played a crucial role in the country's independence movement and in shaping its post-independence policies.
  • By not mentioning Nehru in the address, Congress felt that his contributions were being overlooked or diminished, thereby attempting to erase his legacy from the national narrative.
  • Congress sees the omission as part of a larger trend to rewrite history and downplay Nehru's progressive and inclusive ideology.
  • Critics argue that acknowledging Nehru's role in nation-building is important to honor his legacy and uphold the values he stood for.
