Should Sonia Gandhi return Nehru's letters to PM Memorial?

The Prime Ministers' Museum and Library (PMML) has formally requested the return of personal letters written by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, which were sent to Sonia Gandhi in 2008 during the UPA regime.

In a letter dated December 10, PMML member Rizwan Kadri wrote to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, urging him to retrieve the original letters from Sonia Gandhi or provide photocopies or digital copies. This follows a similar request made to Sonia Gandhi in September.

The letters, considered to be of immense historical significance, were initially entrusted to the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (now PMML) by the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial in 1971. However, they were reportedly packed into 51 boxes and sent to Sonia Gandhi in 2008.

The collection includes correspondence between Nehru and prominent figures such as Edwina Mountbatten, Albert Einstein, Jayaprakash Narayan, Padmaja Naidu, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Aruna Asaf Ali, Babu Jagjivan Ram, and Govind Ballabh Pant, among others.
