Feroze Gandhi: Those who unveiled the first financial scam of independent India inspired by Mahatma Gandhi

New -Delhi, September 11 (IANS). Action went on in Parliament. However, there was silence in the house. The members of the ruling party sat comfortably, they were sure that everything was under its control, but then a young and avid voice echoed. “Isn’t it true that the government’s money is being abused under the protection of certain officials and ministers?” That was the issue of Feroze Gandhi, who was not just the boy, in Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, but also a fearless MP. It was not a common question, but it was a ‘mundra scam’. That was the moment Feroze Gandhi transformed into a man of an ordinary politician who dared to challenge power. Feroze Gandhi was elected in 1952 to Lok Sabha LP of Rae Bareli. At the time, people hoped they would live a peaceful and comfortable life as Nehru’s son -in -Law. But Feroze has proven that he does not work under someone’s influence. He began a war on corruption in his first innings in parliament, which no one thought. The year was 1957 and the same year the Mundra scam took place, which established Feroze as an honest and powerful MP. He made a strong debate in parliament and explained how the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), owned by the Government of India, invested Rs 1.2 crore in six Haridas Mundra businesses, a Calcutta businessman, who was actually in losses. He questioned the government whether it was not the abuse of public money? It wasn’t a little thing. It is directly the then Minister of Finance, TT, there was an attack on the government of Krishnamachari and Jawaharlal Nehru. The evidence offered by Feroze was so strong that the government had to bend. Nehru appreciates his son -in -law’s move, although it has become a cause of his government for his government. Eventually, Krishnamachari had to resign. Feroze also advised his wife Indira not to interfere in government matters. Feroz’s children’s name was born on September 12, 1912, in a Parsi family in Bombay. His father was a well -known lawyer, but Destiny had something else for him. After his father’s death, his mother took him to Allahabad, where he met the great leaders of the Indian Independence Movement. It was the ground of Allahabad that made a normal youth revolution. When Feroze Mahatma heard Gandhi’s speech, he was so impressed that he changed his surname to ‘Ghandi’ to ‘Gandhi’ and never looked back. He left his studies and jumped into the freedom struggle. He soon came close to the Nehru family and became friends with Jawaharlal Nehru’s daughter Indira. This friendship soon turned into love, a love that changed the attitude of history. Indira and Feroze had no simple relationship. Both meditate on the fire of freedom movement. In 1942, when the Quit India movement began, both Feroze and Indira had to go to jail. This was the time when their relationship deepened. They were married in 1942 and this marriage surprised many people. But this marriage was not only the trade union of two people, but also the meeting of two such people dedicated to the country. Even after marriage, Feroz’s life was struggling. He helped manage ‘National Herald’ and ‘Navjivan’ newspapers. He also left his mark in the world of journalism and went to his fearless writing style. His politics was not limited to the fight against corruption. He also expressed his opinion on the country’s economy, energy policy and other important issues. He also promoted India’s nuclear program. Unfortunately, his political journey remained short. Feroze had a heart attack and died on September 8, 1960 at the age of 48. -Ians VKU/DSC
