The Congress on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their criticism of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in their remarks in the Lok Sabha, saying they have no answers to their "present-day failures" and they choose to "divert, distract, distort, and defame."

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the Home Minister and the PM [Narendra Modi] once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha too today." "They have NO answers to their present-day failures. They have NO answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions," he said.

“Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame,” he said. “The Home Minister claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India’s second greatest distorian. Top honours in this regard is reserved for the man qualified in Entire Political Science,” Mr. Ramesh said.
