Mangaluru: Former Minister and Leader of Senior Congress B Ramanath Rai was called the National Secretary General of BJP CT Ravi An Anti-national for his demeaning statement against Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
The leader of the Congress said that BJP leaders had insulted national leaders, who fought for independence and at the same time they called Nathuram Godse, who killed Mahatma Gandhi, a patriot.
“CTR Ravi, who made a ‘bar hookah’ statement against Jawaharlal Nehru, is anti-national.
BJP leaders are not spared from patriots such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.
They do not remember the sacrifices of leaders made for the nation.
All politicians Following the ideology of their political parties, but when it comes to the nation, we must all be together, “Rai said.

“Insult Mahatma Gandhi and summoning the killer of a nationalist cannot be tolerated.
He (Ravi) was made by the Secretary General of the National BJP.

BJP called us the slaves of the Nehru family, but we were happy not to be Slaves corporate companies as they did, “Rai added.
Meanwhile in MySuru, BJP MLC Ah Vishwanath took Ravi for Jibes against Nehru.
The former minister said Nehru spent more days in prison than he holds, which should not be forgotten by Ravi.
He asked Ravi to refer to the former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee speech after Nehru’s death.
“Vajpayee has lamented Nehru’s death said India had lost his prince.
He and his family have donated their income to the Indian freedom movement,” Vishwanath said, wondering whether Ravi had spared even 10 Paisa for the welfare of the nation.
Ravi must be embarrassed by his statement against Nehru, he told reporters, adding such a statement to describe BJP in a bad light.
