PM Modi To Visit Somnath On Jan 11: BJP, Congress Clash Over Nehru's Stance On Temple Revival

On this Special Report, the focus is on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming visit to the Somnath temple on January 11 to mark the 'Somnath Swabhiman Parv'. The programme on India First, hosted by Gaurav Sawant, witnesses a heated debate between BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha and Congress spokesperson Mahima Singh. Sinha argues that the event marks '1000 years of resilience' and criticises the Congress for allegedly not taking pride in India's civilizational identity. Countering him, Singh cites K.M. Munshi to claim that former PM Jawaharlal Nehru supported the temple's rebuilding but opposed state funding and the President's participation due to economic priorities.
