Congress taunts Sanjay's family planning policy
Congress for the first time came up with this thought, in its book “The Congress and the making of the Indian nation." Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee is the chief editor of this book.
Congress quoted, “Over enthusiasm led to compulsion in enforcement of programmes like compulsory sterilisation and clearance of slums."
"Sanjay promoted slum clearance, anti dowry measures and promotion of literacy but in an arbitrary and authoritarian manner. This led to much to the annoyance of the popular opinion," it added.
In the book Congress also include a chapter about Narasimha Rao govt as a PM who has usually been the party's favourite fall guy.
