Union Minister Kiren Rijiju condemns LoP Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, Feb 06, 2026 : Union Parliamentary Minister Kiren Rijiju today strongly condemned the issue raised by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha over the unpublished memoir of former Army Chief General MM Naravane, saying the NDA government has never declassified the report to expose former Prime Minister Nehru and the Congress Party.

In a social media Post, Kiren Rijiju said sensitive defence and security matters should never be used as political tools.

He further added that the Modi-led government is led by a matured Leader and ever since 1962, Henderson Brooks-Bhagat Commission Reports have remained as top secret documents. Mr Rijiju said the report severely indicted the Nehru Government for a very humiliating defeat at the hands of the Chinese PLA.

The Henderson Brooks-Bhagat report was prepared by Lieutenant General Henderson Brooks and Brigadier General Premindra Singh Bhagat and was commissioned by then Acting Army Chief General JN Chaudhuri to review the Indian Army’s operations during the 1962 war with China.

The report continues to remain classified. Mr Rijiju also reshared a post from 2024, in which he highlighted India’s border infrastructure development.
