In a major controversy for the congress, some DU teachers have released a letter extending support to PM Modi's statements on late former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. This is after congress' Sam Pitroda put a tweet with a letter from DU professors, claiming that the teaching fraternity had united to condemn the Prime Minister's remark. In this release, the 121 signatories have slammed the congress saying that the narrative being built by congress is shocking as it aims to not allow critique of Rajiv Gandhi, whom they say was being organised corruption and the Sikh riots.
