'Daro Mat': BJP Asks Sonia To Return 51 Cartons Of Nehru's Letters To Edwina Mountbatten, Others

The BJP has urged Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to return 51 cartons of correspondence belonging to former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library (PMML). BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan alleged that the documents, donated to the institution in 1971, were taken back by Sonia Gandhi in 2008. The papers reportedly include letters exchanged between Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten, among other prominent figures. The demand comes amid renewed efforts by PMML to retrieve the documents, including letters sent to Sonia Gandhi's office in 2025. The Culture Ministry has clarified that the documents are not missing, but were taken back following a request made on Sonia Gandhi's behalf.
