Newly released letters from India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru reveal his opposition to the rebuilding of the Somnath Temple in the 1950s. The letters, shared by the BJP, show Nehru dismissing the temple's reconstruction as unnecessary and attempting to distance the government from the project. This comes as the BJP initiates events marking 1,000 years since the first attack on the temple, drawing parallels to recent Congress leaders declining invitations to the Ram Mandir inauguration.
