If containing Pakistan is the yardstick for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to seek votes, the actual credit should go to Indira Gandhi (former Prime Minister) who not only defeated Pakistan but also divided that country earning the sobriquet of ‘Maa Durga’.
“It was none other than the BJP stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee who described Indira Gandhi as ‘Maa Durga’ after the Indian army defeated the Pakistan army to create Bangladesh. The youngsters of the country should know the history rather than blindly believing the fake news peddled by the BJP,” said Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president T. Jagga Reddy at a press conference held in Hyderabad.
The contributions of Indira Gandhi, whose iron-will ensured that the country defeated the sinister designs of a hostile neighbour, need to be taught to this generation that is blindly pulled into the ‘fake news’ factory of the present BJP, he said.
