Disturbing that PM's I-Day speech didn't have Nehru's mention: Pawar
1 2 Pune: NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech and said not mentioning the name of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was "disturbing". "I heard the Prime Minister's speech from the Red Fort. It was very disturbing that he did not mention Nehru in his entire speech," Pawar said in a private function in Pune, reacting to Modi's speech. "Nehru gave important years of his youth to the freedom struggle of India. After independence, he led the country and spread the message of peace worldwide. Even after his immense contribution, his name was not taken by the Prime Minister, which was unfortunate," the veteran politician said.
