One day, when Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru reached the Parliament, an old woman present there caught hold of his collar and said, India has become independent, you have become the Prime Minister of the country, what did I, an old woman, get?

Today, to reach the Prime Minister of the country, you have to cross several security levels. No one can even wander near the PM of the country without the permission of security. Even whenever the PM's convoy comes out on the road, the traffic is cleared and people are stopped. However, the time we are talking about was not like that. Come, today we will tell you about an incident related to this when a woman caught hold of the collar of the PM of the country.

Who was that Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister we are talking about was Jawaharlal Nehru. The country's first PM's birthday is on 14 November. He loved children very much, which is why he is also called Chacha Nehru. Apart from this, Children's Day is celebrated all over the country on the birthday of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Well, today we will not talk about this but about the incident when a woman grabbed the collar of the country's Prime Minister in the Parliament premises.

What was the incident?

The country had become independent from the British and Jawaharlal Nehru was the Prime Minister of the country. In those days, the relations between Jawaharlal Nehru and Rammanor Lohia were a little bitter. However, this bitterness was less from Nehru's side and more from Rammanor Lohia's side. In 1963, Lohia reached the Lok Sabha for the first time after winning the by-election for the Farrukhabad Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh. From here, he made many harsh comments about Nehru.

Be it the Bastar gang rape case or the Aksai Chin case, Lohia cornered Nehru on every front. One such day, when Jawaharlal Nehru reached the Parliament, an old woman present there grabbed his collar and said that India had become independent, and you have become the Prime Minister of the country, what did I, an old lady, get? It is said that the old woman did this at the behest of Ram Manohar Lohia.

This was the reply of PM Nehru

When the elderly woman said this to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, PM Nehru's reply was, "What you have got is that you are standing holding the collar of the Prime Minister of the country." Such a polite response from a PM on such an incident was a big thing. This matter was discussed all over the country.
