The Congress said the Indian Council for Historical Research omitting Jawaharlal Nehru's image from the "Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav" celebrations to mark the 75th year of India's independence.

Congress leaders today took strong exception to the Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR) omitting Jawaharlal Nehru's image from the "Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav" celebrations to mark the 75th year of India's independence. Not surprising from this regime and its toadies masquerading as scholars but atrocious nevertheless https://t.co/3diWrQNDdF Congress leaders shared a screenshot of the ICHR website showing photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, BR Ambedkar, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Rajendra Prasad, Madan Mohan Malviya and Veer Savarkar but Nehru's picture was missing. There was no immediate comment available from the ICHR. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh termed the move "atrocious" while party spokesperson Gaurav Gogoi said no country removes the first prime minister from a website about the freedom struggle and said it was "petty" and "injustice".
