NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday accused the BJP government of "removing history" by extinguishing the Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate here and merging it with the immortal flame at National War Memorial.
It also condemned the "artificial debate" on the choice between having a statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate and said both could have existed together.
Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said some people cannot understand patriotism and sacrifice, adding that the Congress will light the Amar Jawan Jyoti once again.
"It is a matter of great sadness that the immortal flame for our brave soldiers will be extinguished today. Some people cannot understand patriotism and sacrifice - never mind...We will once again light the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' for our soldiers," he said in a tweet in Hindi.
Government sources maintained there is a lot of misinformation on the matter, and said the flame of the Amar Jawan Jyoti is not being extinguished, but is being merged with the flame at the National War Memorial.
