		K M Munshi and Purushottam Das Tandon, both closest to the Sardar, argued vehemently against incorporating the word; this would open, they pointed out, the floodgates of conversion by various kinds of inducements.
		Tandon said that it was 'very improper to convert from one religion to another' or to allow such activities.

		Patel's many differences with Nehru, like referring the Kashmir issue to the UN, are now part of the prized correspondence between the two.
		The two came close to parting company several times -- for instance, on the election of Purushottam Das Tandon as Congress President in 1950.
		It was over this episode that Patel told Nehru, "I have known you for 30 years, but I haven't been able to enter your heart." Tandon finally resigned, for it became difficult to run the party.

	::Welcome to Center of Policy studies::
		Consider the example of Sri Purushottam Das Tandon taking to the habit of wearing rubber chappals because he wanted to avoid the violence involved in leather-working.
		Sri Tandon was one of the most erudite leaders of India.
		It is of course creditable that important leaders of India had become so careful about their personal conduct and apparel, and took such pains to ensure that they did not participate in the killing of animals even indirectly.

		What Kripalani failed to realise was that the top party leadership had moved into government with the formation of the Nehru-led regime in 1947 and only second-tier leaders were left to run the Congress.
		Nehru also took on Purushottam Das Tandon, a man known for his soft Hindutva views when he became party chief in 1952.
		During this confrontation, the Prime Minister got the entire Congress Working Committee to hand in their resignations and made sure that Tandon would not dare take him on again.

		I know their feelings more intimately than probably he has ever had an opportunity of doing, and I know that most Congressmen are opposed to this idea of ‘propagation’.
		Tandon that the majority of the Congress members are not in favour of introducing the word ‘propagate’ in clause 13 is not correct.

		For, it was the well-honed technique of Nehru to throw in his resignation whenever he found the going sticky.
		That was how he worsted Purushottam Das Tandon, when the latter sought to assert the supremacy of the Congress Party and his position as the Congress President over the Government.
		Nehru used to brandish the threat of quitting office off and on as a way of securing reaffirmation from the party flock and the people at large of their unflinching faith in his leadership.

		There were always two parallel tendencies in the Congress — BJP positive and anti-BJP, tendencies inherited from an earlier, pre-BJP period when Purushottam Das Tandon defeated Jawaharlal Nehru at the first Congress session in Bhubaneshwar in 1950.
		While the Nehru-Tandon contest reflected differences within the Congress on the nature of Indian nationalism, Indira Gandhi’s cautious stance after her second-coming in 1980 was conditioned by the fear of losing Hindu votes because excessive talk of a so-called Muslim vote-bank was creating a backlash.
		This caused him to contemplate the mandir-mandal mahayudh in the Hindi belt, not like a Nehru but more like Purshottam Das Tandon.

		He did not have to do so, however, because Patel rose to the occasion and gave him unstinted support.
		Patel had been dead for three years and Tandon had been thrown out when, in 1954, Nehru threatened to resign again.
