Uncle Nehru had become the Prime Minister two years before independence: MP Agrawal | News India

Bhilwara, 15 August (HS). BJP MP and state general secretary Damodar Agarwal made a controversial statement in a program of Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan. He said that the country got so-called independence in 1947. Two years before this, Chacha Nehru was made the Prime Minister. This program was on Tuesday. Many public representatives of the party including MLAs were present in it.

The MP said that this country was divided on 14 August 1947. Pakistan was formed and we got so-called independence on 15 August 1947. It is a different matter that our uncle Nehru became the Prime Minister two years before independence. This is a strange country. The government is theirs and the Prime Minister is ours. He said that I believe that the Nehru family has caused more damage to this country than the Mughals, Changez and the British. Mahatma Gandhi had assured the country that as long as I am alive, India will not be divided. If there is a division, it will happen over my dead body. After I am divided into two parts, the country will be divided into two parts. The Hindus living in the parts of Pakistan and Bangladesh at that time were confident that if Mahatma Gandhi had said that there will be no division, then there will be no division. But Nehru convinced Mahatma Gandhi to partition.

The MP said that it is sad that Bharat Mata got divided into two parts. When the partition happened, Pakistan declared that we are a Muslim nation. But India said that we are a democratic country. Every community is included here. Those who want to go to Pakistan can go. Those who want to stay here can stay without fear. After this, Hindus, Sindhis and Punjabis were driven out of Pakistan. These days you must be seeing the horrific scenes of massacre of Hindus in Bangladesh. Hindu mothers and sisters are being tortured en masse. In Kashmir Files also, you must have seen the plight of families exiled from Kashmir. It was announced from mosques that Hindus should leave empty handed from here. Take their old mothers and sisters and leave their daughters-in-law and daughters. Today the same is happening with the Hindu community in Bangladesh. Many videos are coming out. Seeing them, the head bows down in shame and fire comes out of the eyes as to what to do. He said that the atrocities and mass killings against Hindus were a thousand times more gruesome than those in Kashmir and Bangladesh in the six months from 15 August 1947. Trains carrying dead bodies from Pakistan used to reach India. If you want to know the pain of partition, ask the Sindhis and Punjabis.

MP Damodar Agrawal clarified his statement given two days ago. He said that this is not just my comment but a historical fact. We got independence in 1947. Nehru had become PM two years before that. Mahatma Gandhi was the most accepted leader before independence. He had said then that there will be no partition at any cost. The country believed in Bapu's statement. Nehru convinced Gandhi to partition. Due to this, countries named India and Pakistan were formed. Thousands of Hindus were massacred. In a moment, Hindus living in Pakistan became refugees.

Regarding the statement of MP Damodar Agarwal, Bhilwara Congress District President Akshay Tripathi said that in freedom, everyone has the right to express their views. Damodar is a scholar, a great man and an MP. I cannot compete with him. Besides, PM Modi also speaks for Nehru. He has been speaking against Nehru ever since he became the Prime Minister. There is nothing new in this.
