News Track Update: Shehzad Poonawalla Hits Back At Congress:’Congress Did Not Have To Throw Me Out’. Vice- President Election 2022: day after veteran Congress leader Margaret Alva was appointed as the Vice-Presidential candidate by the United Opposition, a video clip of her interview with India Today has gone viral on social media.
The contentious interview was given by her to тАШjournalistтАЩ Karan Thapar in July 2016. Margaret Alva had accused Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi of insulting former Indian Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao.
Thapar said, тАЬThere is a real sense from your book that Sonia Gandhi got her revenge. You were General Secretary and you saw how Narasimha RaoтАЩs body was treated by Congress and Sonia was then Congress President.тАЭ тАЬThe gun carriage bearing NarasimhaтАЩs body was not allowed to enter the AICC headquarters. Instead, it was parked on the pavement outside the gates, with chairs for party leaders outside the gate,тАЭ he read out an excerpt from Margaret AlvaтАЩs book titled тАШCourage & Commitment: An Autobiography.тАЩ
The Vice-Presidential nominee had clarified, тАЬWhatever the differences, he had been the Prime Minister, Congress President, Chief Minister and partyтАЩs General Secretary. He had done a wonderful job, except for the Babri Masjid and the mess up with it.тАЭ
тАЬWhen a man is dead, you donтАЩt treat him that way. And I was hurt. I have always regretted not walking away on that occasion but I did not want to insult his body by walking away,тАЭ she informed.
During the interview, she also revealed that there is no picture of PV Narasimha Rao in the Congress headquarters, although the walls are adorned with pictures of other party leaders.
