As the Congress celebrates its 131st Foundation Day on Monday, an article published by the party's Mumbai unit has caused a stir as it blames Jawaharlal Nehru for the state of affairs in Kashmir while another refers to the alleged fascist antecedents of Sonia Gandhi's family in Italy.
One of the articles states that Nehru should have listened to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's views on international affairs. The Congress and the BJP have often debated Nehru's leadership and also competed over owning Patel.
Another piece in the journal talks about Sonia joining the Congress 62 days before she was elected its president in 1997. It also talks about her "failed attempt" to form a government.
The articles, which does not bear the name of their writers, have been published in this month's issue of 'Congress Darshan' Hindi edition as a tribute piece to mark Patel's death anniversary on December 15.
"Despite Patel getting the post of deputy prime minister and home minister, the relations between the two leaders remained strained, and both had threatened to resign time and again," the article says.
If Nehru had embraced Patel's foresight, many problems in international affairs would not have arisen, it adds.
The article cites a letter that Patel reportedly wrote in 1950 to caution Nehru against China's policy towards Tibet and where "Patel described China as unfaithful, and a future enemy of India."Sunday, December 27, 2015
