She further added that during the days of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in the freedom struggle, the English crown was not at all allowing India its independence, for that reason Nehru took the oath for the British Crown and not the Indian Constitution during the swearing ceremony as the Prime minister.
She said that ''After this, she also said that after its independence, the Indian national congress was formed in 1951 and blamed the INC for this leased independence of India".
