BJP MP Criticizes Nehru's Foreign Policy During 1962 War
Imagine India and China were having a big fight (the 1962 war).
A politician named Nishikant Dubey is now talking about it.
He's saying that the Indian leader at the time, Nehru, kept asking the US for help during the fight, like he was pleading.
Dubey is criticizing Nehru's decisions and using old letters to prove his point.
One letter was sent to the US president.
Another letter was about a different leader from the past.
Dubey thinks Nehru's actions were not good for India because he may have shared India's weaknesses with other countries, like Pakistan, who could then take advantage.
He is arguing the current government's critics should also look at history.
