"This Is A Lie": Congress Snaps At Rajnath Singh's Nehru-Babri Masjid Jab | Read

The Congress has responded sharply to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's jibe about Jawaharlal Nehru wanting to restore the Babri Masjid - the demolished 16th century Mughal mosque - using public funds.

Congress leader Manickam Tagore called out the BJP's "lie" and said there is "zero archival or documentary evidence to support" the claim.

"Nehruji explicitly opposed using government money for religious places - including the reconstruction of temples. He insisted it should be funded through public contributions, not the state," he said.
