Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, 24 July, released a book on former PM Chandra Shekhar, written by Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh.
Speaking on the occasion, Modi said that a museum dedicated to all his predecessors will be built in Delhi.
Modi also took a dig at the Congress, saying an attempt was made to erase their memories as part of a strategy.
“There is a coterie of people who have created adverse images of greats like Dr Ambedkar and Sardar Patel. This same coterie destroyed the image of Morarji Bhai. They created labels, narratives and titles for our former PMs,” the prime minister said.
Reminiscing Chandra Shekhar, Modi said that the former PM was a ‘man of principles’.
“It has been 12 years since he passed away but the thoughts of Chandra Shekhar Ji continue to guide us. They are as vibrant today as they were earlier,” he added.
