On the occasion of Jawaharlal Nehru’s birth anniversary, tributes were showered upon the nation’s first prime minister. Rahul Gandhi, a prominent Congressman and great-grandson of Nehru, stated that the nation still needs the principles of her “Jawahar of Hind” in every heart.
In a social media post on X, Gandhi said, “Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is a thought – of freedom, progress, justice. Mother India today needs these values of her ‘Jawahar of Hind’, like an ideology, in every heart.”
At Shantivan in the nation’s capital, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi presented flowers to Nehru.
Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, emphasized Nehru’s crucial role in creating modern India.
India could only be held together, according to Kharge on X, “by a democratic structure that allowed different cultural, political, and socioeconomic trends to express themselves.”
“We must preserve, protect, and defend India’s Constitution and our long-cherished Democratic institutions and principles — his enduring legacy — as we gather in Shanti Van today to pay our revered tributes to him,” he continued.
BJP MP and Nehru’s other great-grandson, Varun Gandhi, paid his respects to the late leader, acknowledging his contributions to the social and economic foundations of modern India.
“Nehru ji, who carried forward the traditions of the national movement and gave the message of an all-inclusive society through the confluence of democracy, socialism and secularism, is a true ‘national hero’,” he said.
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today paid tributes to former Prime Minister, Shri Jawaharlal Nehru on his birth anniversary.
