Throwback Thursday: When Rajiv Gandhi questioned Mandal report move amid Kashmir tension

IndiaTimes Thursday, 1 May 2025
AAP MP Sanjay Singh criticised the government's timing of the caste census announcement, alleging it was a distraction from the Pahalgam terror attack where 26 tourists were killed. He questioned PM Modi's decision to campaign in Bihar instead of addressing the security failure. Interestingly, when former Prime Minister VP Singh had announced the implementation of the Mandal Commission report in 1990, his timing was also questioned by the then opposition led by Congress citing the situation in Kashmir.
