Congress leader Shatrughan Sinha has called Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah a part of the Congress family, and lauded him for his 'role' in India's independence.
"The Congress family, from Mahatma Gandhi to Sardar Patel to Mohammad Ali Jinnah to Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi to Rajiv Gandhi to Rahul Gandhi to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. It is their party. They had the most important role in development and freedom of the country. This is the reason why I have come here (in Congress)," Sinha said in Hindi at a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara, reports India Today.
Sinha himself will be contesting the elections from Bihar's Patna Sahib on a Congress ticket, given he left the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and was inducted into the Congress on 6 April 2019.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
