Dear Pankaj Vohra
Dear Pankaj Vohra
In a recent column in the Hindustan Times, you wrote that Rahul Gandhi should “look into who among his colleagues were engaged in politics for their own narrow ends, and who were the ones who kept the party and the country in mind.”
I have a request for you: Could you please name three Indian politicians who keep the interests of their party and country above their self-interest?
Just three.
Thank you for your time, and warm regards
