Morarji desai married his daughter

New Delhi: Siddharth Malhotra-starrer Mission Majnu which claims to be based on ‘true events’ released on Netflix Friday to mixed reviews. The film follows a R&AW agent during India’s first successful nuclear test in 1974 and the subsequent tension between India and Pakistan However, it does not address rumours that then-Prime Minister Morarji Desai divulged details of the intelligence agency’s network in Pakistan to Zia-Ul Haq, Pakistan’s then-chief martial law administrator. The rumours claim Desai informed him about India’s bomb-making facility in Pakistan. It has never been confirmed. Pawan Khera, chairman of the Congress’ media and publicity department, points this out on Twitter. — Pawan Khera 🇮🇳 (@Pawankhera) In 1977, Desai cut R&AW funds by 30 per cent. It was a In Mission Majnu, Morarji Desai is played by Avijit Dutt and is seen having phone conversations with Zia – giving tips on yoga et al but nothing political. In his book Kaoboys of R&AW, former R&AW officer B Raman claims the conversations started that way but would often lead to Desai divulging state secrets. “Zia was a past master in the art of flattery. Often, he would ring up Morarji Desai under the pretext of consulting him on native medicine and urine therapy. Nothing flattered Morarji more. Zia would ask him with seeming earnestness in his voice: ‘Excellency, how many times one should drink the urine in a day? Should it be the first urine of the morning or can it be any time o...

Morarji Desai’s contribution started from freedom struggle movement and later he turned a politician and his achievements as both are unparallel. He started off as civil service employee in the British regime to taking up an active role in the freedom struggle and later assuming different offices under various administrations to finally chairing the responsibility of the Prime Minister of the country, his political pursuits have scaled upwards all throughout. His deep embedded value for perseverance, truthfulness, and hard work is a no match for anybody to date. He was sincere in all that he did and that is the reaon why he was so popular among public. He worked in various departments in his lifetime and conferred with various awards during his lifetime. He to-date is the only Indian to be conferred with Pakistan’s highest civilian award, Nishan-E-Pakistan, for his infinite efforts in initiating peace between two rival countries. He also served as the finance minister in Jawahar Lal Nehru's cabinet prior to becoming the 5th prime minister of India. Not only Pakistan, he also worked tirelessly to improve relations with China as well. After Janta Party dismantled in 1979, he resigned as the Prime Minister of India and also that was his last political stint. He spent his last years in Mumbai and that is where he breathed his last. His legacy will always be unmatched and was arguably one of the finest politician India ever produced. Home Town Bhadeli village, Bulsar district, ...

New Delhi: When the Modi government awarded the Padma Shri to singer Adnan Sami, an Indian citizen of Pakistani origin, last month, the opposition was up in arms, with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Sami’s father was a fighter pilot in the Pakistan Air Force and part of the raid that destroyed the Pathankot air base during the 1965 Indo-Pak war. London-born Sami himself, however, acquired Indian citizenship in 2016 after the Pakistan government didn’t renew his passport a year earlier. The opposition may have expressed anger at the government honouring a Pakistani with India’s fourth highest civilian award, but this was not the first time such a thing happened. Three decades earlier, Pakistan had conferred its highest civilian honour on an Indian — a former prime minister no less. Morarji Desai, who served a two-year stint as India’s first non-Congress prime minister in the immediate aftermath of the Emergency, was awarded the Nishan-e-Pakistan in 1988. The award drew the ire of the Congress, but Desai paid no heed to the criticism and accepted the award anyway. On Desai’s 124th birth anniversary, 29 February 2020, ThePrint looks back at Desai’s relationship with Pakistan, and why he won their highest civilian honour. Also Read: Indira Gandhi vs Morarji Desai: How JNU was at the centre of battle to capture academi A challenging time for subcontinent W hen Desai came to power in 1977, India-Pakistan relations were on the mend after the 1971 war, whic...
