Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Tuesday slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah's criticism of India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, by saying that Shah lacks historical knowledge and often "rewrites" history.

During a Rajya Sabha session on Monday, Shah had held Nehru responsible for the Kashmir problem, attributing it to what he described as "mistakes" in declaring an "untimely" ceasefire and involving the United Nations in the matter.
