Mangaluru, Aug 25: Former minister B Ramanath Rai on Thursday, August 25 said, " Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had tremendously contributed to the development of the district."
Speaking at a press meet here, he said, “efforts are on to insult Nehru's family. There is no photograph of Nehru in the government advertisements. This is really a painful thing for the patriots. The present government is insulting the freedom fighters. It is not fair to insult the freedom fighters.”
Ramanath Rai also slammed the BJP-led state government during the occasion. He said the government should understand the history before speaking. “Read history books but do not read the books written by Chakaravarthi Sulibele. To know whether Savarkar was a freedom fighter one should read history,” he said.
