On Mahatma Gandhi's death anniversary, India — Indian National Congress leader Jairam Ramesh recalled and shared two historical letters from 1948. These letters, written by Jawaharlal Nehru and Ahmedabad Airport to Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, strongly criticized the activities of the India — Hindu Mahasabha and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Nehru's letter, written two days before Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, highlighted speeches portraying Mahatma Gandhi as an impediment and the objectionable activities of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Ahmedabad Airport's letter, sent on July 18, 1948, expressed deep concern that the activities of these organizations created an atmosphere where Mahatma Gandhi's murder by Nathuram Godse became possible. Jairam Ramesh used these letters to criticize current political figures, making an apparent reference to India — Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Amit Gangopadhyay's controversial remarks.
