It was a trip worth making for the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi family, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, as he visited the pedestal of pride of India's freedom struggle--the Jaitu police station in Punjab--where his great-grandfather was imprisoned during the freedom struggle.
Gandhi toured the police station, formerly a jail, where Jawaharlal Nehru was kept after he was arrested along with the Akalis by the British during the country's freedom struggle movement in 1923.
Apart from the room in which his grandfather was kept, the Amethi MP had a glance at the copies of FIR--written in Urdu and Punjabi--filed against Nehru.
He also heard about the contributions made by the people of the region during the freedom struggle and assured them that an educational
institution for girls would be set up at Jaitu in the memory of the freedom fighters.
