Faced with criticism from opposition parties for omitting Jawaharlal Nehru from a poster commemorating India’s 75th anniversary of independence, the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR) said the debate is “unnecessary” because other posters set to be released in the coming days will include India’s first prime minister.
The poster was one of many released as part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, according to a top ICHR official, who dismissed criticism on the matter and noted that the poster was one of many released as part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
On Sunday, Congress leader P Chidambaram slammed the ICHR for deleting Jawaharlal Nehru’s photo of the first digital poster commemorating India’s 75th anniversary of independence, calling the explanation presented absurd.
