Nehru-era's Mundra Scam vs Modi-era's Adani-Hindenburg, and Feroze Gandhi's surname
Prime Minister Modi has tried to raise the Nehru-Gandhi surname controversy in his parliamentary speech. What is the reality behind it? Apart from being Indira Gandhi's husband, the country has forgotten a lot about other sides of Feroze Gandhi's personality. Against the backdrop of the Hindenburg revelations regarding the Adani Group, it is also necessary to remember the first financial scam of independent India, the Mundra Scam. In an interesting coincidence, Rahul Gandhi today is raising the matter of the Adani Group in the light of the Hindenburg Report, and the matter of the Mundra scam was raised by Feroze Gandhi in the first Parliament of independent India. Back then, the Finance Minister had to go, today the government is standing in defence of the Adani Group.
In the present Houses of Parliament, the speeches given by the major opposition leaders in polite and parliamentary terms are also being cut. It did not happen in the past. Feroze Gandhi had put his own father-in-law Nehru's government on the stand. In #AajKiBaat, senior journalist Urmilesh raises crucial questions regarding that true story from history.
