Actor Shatrughan Sinha who recently shifted from the BJP to the Congress has once again ruffled feathers after he evoked the name of Muhammad Ali Jinnah as a part of the Congress family.

Sinha made the statement while campaigning for Chief Minister Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath who is contesting the Lok Sabha election from the Chhindwara parliamentary constituency in Madhya Pradesh on Friday, 26 April.

“The Congress family, from Mahatma Gandhi to Sardar Patel to Mohammad Ali Jinnah to Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi to Rajiv Gandhi to Rahul Gandhi to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. It is their party. They had the most important role in development and freedom of the country. This is the reason why I have come here (in Congress),” Sinha said at a rally.
