Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday hit back at Home Minister Amit Shah for his attack on India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, saying the BJP leader probably does not know history and "keeps rewriting" it. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, “Pandit Nehru gave his life for India, he was in jail for years. Amit Shah is unaware of history.
