NEW DELHI: BJP Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, stating that they act as though they hold exclusive rights over former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Speaking during the Operation Sindoor debate in the Lok Sabha, Dubey asserted that as India's first Prime Minister, Nehru's decisions are open to public scrutiny.
"I would like to thank the Indian armed forces for giving a fitting reply to Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack. I offer my homage to those unarmed people who were killed in the name of religion, " Dubey said while opening his address.
Criticising Priyanka Gandhi's remarks urging people to forget the past, Dubey said, "The person, society or the community that forgets its past, only gets destroyed. We should learn from the past and live in the present. The two things that are being talked about in Parliament are Kashmir and China."
He alleged that Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi behave as though they have a "stamp" of Jawaharlal Nehru.
"Nehru might be your grandfather, but he was the first Prime Minister of India, and I have the right to question his deeds. You do not have a guarantee or USP for him. I have the right to raise questions about the punishment I am enduring, " he added.
