Historian Rizwan Kadri has appealed to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for assistance in retrieving crucial documents once housed in the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, now known as the Prime Ministers' Museum and Library Society.

Kadri claims the documents were removed in 2008 at the request of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi during the UPA government, with no subsequent response to his request for their return. He revealed these missing papers include significant correspondences involving Jawaharlal Nehru, which are vital to India's historic record.

Having observed further incidents of document handling within the library, Kadri calls for a forensic audit to discern the papers' fate. He emphasizes the need for these national treasures to be accessible for scholarly research.
