Exclusion of Nehru's image from 'Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations stirs row

The exclusion of Jawaharlal Nehru's image from the poster of the 'Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations by the ICHR triggered a controversy with Congress slamming the government's "petty" move.

The exclusion of Jawaharlal Nehru's image from the poster of the 'Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations by the ICHR triggered a controversy with opposition parties slamming the government for it and dubbing it as "petty and atrocious". Not surprising from this regime and its toadies masquerading as scholars but atrocious nevertheless https://t.co/3diWrQNDdF It is not merely petty but absolutely ahistorical to celebrate Azadi by omitting the pre-eminent voice of Indian freedom, Jawaharlal Nehru. One more occasion for ICHR to disgrace itself. This is becoming a habit! pic.twitter.com/wZzKCvYEcD Congress leaders took strong exception to the Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR) omitting Nehru's photograph from the 'Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebrations to mark the 75th year of India's independence.
