Read History: Supriya Sule to Tejasvi Surya in LS on Nehru Claim
In a heated debate in the Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor, NCP(S) MP Supriya Sule took a strong exception to a statement made by BJP MP Tejasvi Surya regarding Jawaharlal Nehru’s role in encouraging the defence forces. Sule demanded that Surya “read history” before making such claims, as they were “insulting” to thousands and lakhs of Indian defence personnel.
The debate was sparked when Surya claimed that Nehru never encouraged the defence forces, stating that “this is for the first time India has done exceptionally well in its armed forces”. Sule strongly disagreed with this statement, calling it “unacceptable” and “insulting” to the defence personnel who have laid down their lives for the country.
Sule pointed out that Nehru was a strong supporter of the defence forces and played a crucial role in shaping the country’s military strategy. She also highlighted the important contributions made by Nehru during the Indo-China war, including his efforts to mobilize public support for the war effort.
Surya’s statement was met with strong opposition from other MPs as well, with many of them coming forward to defend Nehru’s role in encouraging the defence forces. The debate highlighted the importance of understanding and respecting the country’s history, and the need to avoid making inflammatory statements that can hurt the feelings of millions of people.
Sule’s demand that Surya “read history” was met with applause from the opposition benches, and was seen as a strong rebuke to the BJP MP’s claim. The debate also highlighted the importance of fact-checking and verifying information before making public statements, and the need to avoid spreading misinformation.
In conclusion, the debate in the Lok Sabha highlighted the importance of understanding and respecting the country’s history, and the need to avoid making inflammatory statements that can hurt the feelings of millions of people. The demand that Surya “read history” was a strong rebuke to his claim, and served as a reminder of the importance of fact-checking and verifying information before making public statements.
