Shah doesn't know history, keeps rewriting it: Rahul slams home minister

Hitting back at Home Minister Amit Shah for his attack on India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the BJP leader does not know history and "keeps rewriting" it. Gandhi also said the whole matter was about distracting from the issue of caste census and in whose hands the country's money is going. Speaking in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, Shah had blamed Nehru for the Kashmir problem, pointing to the "mistakes" of ordering an "untimely" ceasefire and taking the issue to the United Nations. Asked about Shah's remarks, Gandhi said, "Pandit Nehru dedicated his life for this country. He was in jail for years, Amit Shah ji does not know history. I don't expect that he would know history as he keeps rewriting history." "This is all about distraction, basic issue is of caste census and participation, in whose hands is the money of the country going. They (BJP) don't want to discuss this issue, they are afraid of it and run away from it," Gand

Dheeraj Sahu row: Amit Shah chides INDIA parties for not suspending Cong MP

Days after income tax sleuths seized Rs 351 crore during raids against a distillery firm owned by a Congress MP's family, Home Minister Amit Shah Monday chided the INDIA bloc parties for not suspending the leader from Jharkhand. "Just now, at an MP's place in Jharkhand, I don't want to say which party he is from but the entire world knows about it, so much cash has been found that even bank's cashiers say that they have never seen so much of cash," Shah said while replying to a debate on two bills related to Jammu and Kashmir in the Rajya Sabha. He, however, did not name either the MP or the party that he belonged to. Shah said it has been five days of continuous counting and 27 cash machines deployed for counting have also "heated up", indicating that the counting of cash was still on. "None of the Ghamandia alliance (in an apparent reference to the opposition INDIA bloc) has neither commented on it nor suspended him. Not a single one (of them)," Shah said. The searches that bega
