Bengaluru, Jul 21: Congress MLA from Karnataka, K R Ramesh Kumar on Thursday claimed that the party men have amassed enough wealth to last for three to four generations in the name of its stalwarts Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.
Kumar made the statement during the Congress party's protest in the city today to condemn the Enforcement Directorate's summons to Sonia Gandhi in connection with a money laundering case, which has gone viral.
"We have earned, which is sufficient for three to four generations, in the name of Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi," Kumar said while addressing the large gathering of party workers here.
The Congress MLA from Srinivasapur in Kolar district, said, "Let us shun pettiness and cribbing. Let us set aside all our small issues, we need to strengthen the Congress and Sonia Gandhi. She should feel morally content that the entire Congress stood behind her (Sonia Gandhi) for issuing a summons to her."
"The morsel we are eating today will become meaningful if she (Sonia Gandhi), feels content that the country is standing in her support to repay her for losing her husband...."
The MLA, known for making controversial remarks, had last year sparked a row in the Karnataka assembly saying, "When rape is inevitable, lie down and enjoy."
After nationwide furore, he apologised for his statement.

New Delhi: The National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) is reportedly developing two special modules on Operation Sindoor, aimed at familiarising students with India's military capabilities.
“While the first special module on Operation Sindoor will be for students of Classes 3 to 8 and second will be available for Classes 9 to 12. The aim of these modules is to make students aware about India's military power and how Pakistan was defeated once again,” Hindustan Times quotes its source as saying.
Each module will span approximately 8 to 10 pages and will focus on the achievements of the Indian Armed Forces.
These modules are expected to be introduced in the upcoming academic session and will supplement the existing syllabus.
In addition to Operation Sindoor, NCERT is also preparing modules on a range of national achievements and historical events. Upcoming topics include Mission LiFE ('LiFEStyle For Environment'), the horrors of Partition, and India's growing stature in space exploration—from the Chandrayaan and Aditya L1 missions to Subhanshu Shukla’s journey to the International Space Station, HT quoted a source from the education ministry as saying.
Meanwhile, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has written to states, directing them to mandatorily adopt NCERT textbooks for Classes 9 to 12. The board has also “strongly advised” that states use either NCERT or State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) books. Supplementary materials may be used by schools, provided they align with the National Curriculum Framework
