'Nehru Hated Somnath Most': Sudhanshu Trivedi Cites Letters, Alleges 'Blind Appeasement'

• BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi accused Pandit Nehru of 'hating Lord Somnath the most' and actively opposing the temple's reconstruction.
• Trivedi cited Nehru's letters, including one to Pakistan's PM Liaquat Ali Khan, where Nehru dismissed the Somnath gates story as 'false'.
• Nehru allegedly wrote to cabinet ministers, President Dr. Rajendra Prasad, and Vice President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, dissuading them from the inauguration.
• He reportedly instructed embassies to disregard Somnath Trust's requests for holy river water and minimized coverage of the consecration ceremony.
• Trivedi claims Nehru opposed the President's participation, viewing the event as politically inconvenient and an act of 'blind appeasement'.
