2/n So did Nehru defended INA in Red Fort trial?
Let’s look at facts. Here I am quoting from “SWOJN-Series-1, Vol-14”.
He clearly said in an interview on June 23, 1945 mentioning what he said in 1942 that he would fight Subhash Bose if his INA enters India.

3/n In fact he repeats taking about it on multiple occasions. Check these pages from Selected Works of JL Nehru, Series 1, Vol-14.
4/n So what was the reason for this change of heart? In fact it becomes very clear from his own words that Nehru jumped into INA matter for the elections. The people of India were too charged up to support INA, and not standing with them would have been suicidal for Congress.
5/n While writing to Maulana Nehru shows indirect disappointment that he is unable to carry on election rallies for many reasons of which INA trial is one of them.
6/n Nehru writes to Sardar expressing how he is liking to include INA veterans like Shahnawaz to congress. Of course it was for the INA wave of Indian public in time of elections.
7/n Nehru talks of congress ticket and col. Loganathan. Isn’t it an indication that Nehru was just trying to mainstream INA veterans to capitalise in elections.
8/n All of a sudden, same Nehru who wanted to fight against INA if they entered India, had gone onto tone of not seeing Bose as criminal.
Why?
Of course, because elections were on block. & he himself accepts that he is getting into legal battle after 25 years.

9/n In fact Nehru himself knew that he is a layperson to defend INA.
But people like @SupriyaShrinate goes on to credit him for the trial.
A wise mind would ask, why a person who never fought a legal battle for decades came to do it all of a sudden?

10/n You are wrong @SupriyaShrinate . Bose didn’t name regiment “Nehru.” The regiment already had a name from INA-1. Check snipet from the important book “The Forgotten Army: India's Armed Struggle for Independence, 1942–1945”
Btw, do you know INA-1 was formed by whom?
