Congress leader Sonia Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the Centre, saying “systematic attempts” were being made to distort and demean the legacy of the country’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Speaking at the launch of the Nehru Centre India at Jawahar Bhawan in New Delhi on Friday, Gandhi alleged that the main objective of the ruling establishment was to destroy the social, political and economic foundations of the country.

" Let there be no doubt whatsoever that the project to vilify Jawaharlal Nehru is the main objective of the ruling establishment today. Their goal is not just to erase him, it is to actually destroy the social, political, and economic foundations on which our nation has been founded and built," she was quoted as saying by ANI.
