Congress shares Patel's daughter diary, demands Rajnath apology
The Congress party shared a diary entry written by Maniben Patel, the daughter of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
This entry was published in a book called 'Samarpit Padchhayo Sardarno' by CA R S Patel 'Aaresh' in 2025.
The Congress party shared screenshots of pages 212-213 of this book on the platform X (formerly Twitter).
They did this to respond to a statement made by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
Rajnath Singh had said that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to use government money to build the Babri Masjid, and this idea was opposed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
The Congress party is asking Rajnath Singh to apologize for his statement.
They believe the diary entry shows that Rajnath Singh's statement is not true.
