The History that we were never told 🤬

Upon Sardar Patel’s sad demise, Nehru issued two orders to the Home Ministry which were received by VP Menon

The 1st order instructed MHA to immediately return the Cadillac which Sardar was using

The 2nd order instructed MHA officials that anybody traveling to Mumbai for Sardar’s Antyeshti would have to do at their own expense

Nehru even advised then President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad to avoid going to Mumbai as it would set a wrong precedent for the President to attend the last rites of a cabinet minister … really ? Was Sardar Patel just a cabinet minister? Wasn’t he the real architect of a united and integrated India ?

How petty was Chacha? Why ? I can understand he was insecure of Sardar while Sardar was around, but such insecurity even after his passing away?

What a fall !!!
