Date:

 Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday paid tributes to the first Prime Minster Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on his 135th birth anniversary.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra paid floral tributes to the first Prime Minister at Shanti Van. She also released tricolour balloons on the occasion.

Meanwhile, taking to his social media handle X, Kharge said, “On the 135th birth anniversary of the “Jawahar of India”, the one who took India from zero to the peak, the architect of modern India, the one who made India a developing country in scientific, economic, industrial and various fields, the one who constantly gave the message of ‘unity in diversity’ to the country, the fearless sentinel of democracy and our source of inspiration, we remember his unprecedented contribution to the country”.

On the occasion, Kharge also shared an excerpt from ‘The Discovery of India’.

Meanwhile Rahul Gandhi said, “Respectful salutations to the father of modern India, creator of institutions, first Prime Minister of India, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru ji on his birth anniversary”.

“Democratic, progressive, fearless, visionary, inclusive – these values ​​of the ‘Jewel of India’ are the ideals and pillars of Hindustan and will always remain so,” Gandhi said.

Moreover, remembering Nehru, Priyanka in a post on X said, “Salute to the creator of modern India, Fear is the root of all evil in the world”.

“When we achieved independence after decades of struggle and innumerable sacrifices, even then there were people who used to play politics of scaring and misleading the innocent public. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji strongly opposed them and told the common people – “Do not be afraid!”

She said, “People who spread fear among the public cannot be true representatives of the public. Public servants stand in the forefront with their heads held high so that people can live without fear. Pandit Nehru always taught the public to be fearless and serve selflessly, while on the other hand he kept the public supreme at every stage of nation building”.
