After PM’s tribute to Somnath temple, BJP blames Nehru for distorting history
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi asserted that Mahmud of Ghazni's destruction of the Somnath temple 1,000 years ago was fueled by religious fanaticism, not just plunder. He criticized Jawaharlal Nehru and 'leftist' historians for downplaying the invader's religious motivations, contrasting this with PM Modi's tribute to the temple as a symbol of India's enduring spirit.
