North India Statesman
[ad_1]
News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are even slightly interested in Indian politics, then you would know that the Parliament is in session and the first Prime Minister of the country Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru It rarely happens that someone’s name does not come up. Even today a similar scene was seen in the Lok Sabha. But this time the matter was not just one-sided. As soon as PM Narendra Modi mentioned Nehru ji, the young and dynamic MP of Congress Gaurav Gogoi Stood like a shield.
Where did the matter start?
A discussion was going on in the Parliament and in his address, Prime Minister Modi targeted the opposition by referring to the last 70 years, the Constitution and the policies of Nehru ji. It is often seen that when the PM speaks, the opposition remains on the backfoot, but this time Gaurav Gogoi, who comes from Assam, answered the brick with a stone.
Gogoi made it clear in his speech that blaming Nehruji every time for the shortcomings of the country has now become an old formula. His style was enough to show that Congress will now play aggressively in defense of its leaders.
Opposition parties clash over “Vande Mataram”
The most interesting turn of the debate came when the ruling party (BJP) “Vande Mataram” Slogans started being raised. Often BJP uses it to show nationalism. But Gaurav Gogoi showed great intelligence here. Instead of being afraid of the slogans or remaining silent, they embraced it.
Gogoi clearly said that “Vande Mataram” It is not the property of any one party. This slogan was on the lips of Nehru, Gandhi and every Congress worker in the freedom struggle. He reminded the BJP MPs that you cannot change history by raising patriotic slogans. Gogoi said that we also say ‘Vande Mataram’, but we use it not to divide, but to unite.
Gaurav Gogoi’s attitude in discussion
Gogoi’s body language in the House was worth seeing. He looked PM Modi in the eyes and asked questions. His argument was that whether Manipur is burning today or there is a problem of unemployment, instead of giving answers to all these, talking about 1950 or 1960 does not suit the present government.
What are the public thinking?
Clips of this debate are now floating on social media. On one side, there are supporters of PM Modi who believe that the impact of Nehru’s mistakes is still there, while on the other side, there are those who are praising Gogoi for giving a logical answer to the attempt to make “Nehru a villain”.
The proceedings of Parliament show that this ideological battle is going to become more intense in the coming days. Will Nehru’s name be able to get votes in elections or will it be of any use? Only time will tell.
