Congress leaders paid tribute to India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, on his 137th birth anniversary at Shantivan in Delhi. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi offered floral tributes at the memorial. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also remembered Nehru through a social media post, describing him as an extraordinary individual, a revolutionary, a visionary and a nation-builder. She said that even more than 60 years after his death, people who want to destroy India's Constitution and democracy continue to attack him. Priyanka added that Nehru's unwavering commitment to India and his love for the country should continue to guide the nation. Through her post, she also criticised those who continue to target Nehru decades after his death. The occasion saw senior Congress leaders come together to honour the former Prime Minister, while Priyanka's remarks brought the political debate surrounding Nehru, the Constitution and democracy into focus.
