PM Modi suggested this when he was speaking about his government’s footsteps on the Indo-China border dispute. He also responded to the criticism of the opposition during this period. Earlier on Monday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav surrounded the India-China dispute with the Lake government.
PM Modi quoted this book as saying what the game Nehru played with the security of the country and what was the meaning of foreign policy for him. He said, “Those who are right in foreign policy, I suggest them to read JFK’s Forgotton Crisis.”
He said, “This book, written by a specialist of foreign policy, mentions the first Prime Minister of India, he also looked at foreign affairs. The book includes his conversation with his John F. Kennedy’s wife during the crisis, which was called action taken in the name of foreign policy. ”
The book makes many revelations about Nehru
In the book which PM Modi mentioned, Kennedy’s wife’s visit to India and action taken on the foreign relations of PM Nehru has been written. According to the book, in a conversation with the then US Ambassador to India John Kenneth Galbrath, US President John F. Kennedy allegedly told him that PM Nehru was more interested in conversation with his wife Jackie instead.

The book also states that during Kennedy’s visit to India, the US embassy rented a villa for his wife. But during this time, Nehru emphasized that Kennedy’s wife should stay in a room in the Prime Minister’s residence. Significantly, this is the same room used by Edwina Mountbatten. Edwina was the wife of the last Viceroy Lord Mountbatten, who was a Viceroy at the time of the country’s partition.

The book also states that Nehru was taking great interest in JFK’s 27 -year -old sister Pat Kennedy than Kennedy or his wife Bobby.

PM Modi said all these things after Rahul Gandhi’s claim made in the House. Rahul Gandhi said that India has lost more than 4,000 square kilometers at the hands of China. Rahul had alleged that the Prime Minister does not accept Isabat, but the statements of the army are the opposite. His matter was replied by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.
