"Return Nehru's Letters To Einstein, Mountbatten": Centre To Rahul Gandhi | Read
The Prime Minister's Museum and Library (PMML) has appealed to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to return the collection of historical letters belonging to former Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. These letters were removed from public access in 2008 at the request of Sonia Gandhi, the then-chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), and have since been stored privately.
The collection, originally transferred to the PMML, formerly the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, in 1971 by the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund, comprises 51 boxes containing personal correspondences PM Nehru exchanged with some of the 20th century's most prominent figures. Among them are letters to Albert Einstein, Jayaprakash Narayan, Edwina Mountbatten, Padmaja Naidu, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Aruna Asaf Ali, and Babu Jagjivan Ram.
