Congress or the Indian National Congress (INC) is one of two major political parties in India. It was founded in 1885 and played a leading role in India’s Independence movement. It has ruled during most of India’s independent years and gave the country its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Leadership of the Congress too has been dominated by the Nehru-Gandhi family.
The Congress is a center-left party, and lists on its website democracy, nationalism, secularism, inclusive growth and social justice as its core values. It last ruled India between 2004 and 2014, but has since lost its sway, being reduced to just 52 seats in the 2019 General Elections. INDIA, the alliance headed by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, was an attempt to bring together opposition parties against the BJP government for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Together, the INDIA Alliance secured 238 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha. The Congress won 99 of these.
Pls don’t rewrite history for convenience. Muslim League won more than 85% seats in Bihar in 1946 Provincial elections.
So, they were supportive of Muslim League and separate nation. Intact it is said that Pakistan was formed by Muslims of UP & Bihar.
Intact that is the reason why Urdu was declared official language of Pakistan. Urdu is otherwise not the language spoken in partitioned areas.

Mr Shekhar Gupta, I am a fan of your journalism and is regular listener of Cut the Clutter. Don’t know how this article passed ‘The Print’ editing with fabricated facts.
Unless Muslims abandon their mentality of consolidation of votes and start thinking like an Indian, i.e. working for self and nation, they’ll suffer from backwardness. Soon even Tejaswi will abandon them.
