As far as my knowledge goes SP Mukherjee was never in the Congress. From 1937 to 1947 in was in the Hindu Mahasabha, after Partition he suggested that there was need of the Sabha anymore and in 1952 he founded Jana Sangh and got elected as MP.

You need to check your facts.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee was the <span style='color:red'>Fisrt Minister for Industry and Supply of India,</span> in the Interim Central Government of Pandit Nehru. Mookerjee was widely respected by many Indians and also by members of the Indian National Congress, the main Indian political organization, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, one of its chief leaders.
But on issue of the 1949 Delhi Pact with Pakistani Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan, Mookherjee resigned from the Cabinet on April 6, 1950. Mookherjee was firmly against Nehru's invitation to the Pakistani PM, and their joint pact to establish minority commissions and guarantee minority rights in both countries. He wanted to hold Pakistan directly responsible for the terrible influx of millions of Hindu refugees from East Pakistan, who had left the state fearing religious suppression and violence aided by the state. Mookerjee considered Nehru's actions as appeasement, and was hailed as a hero by the people of West Bengal.
After consultation with Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Mookerjee founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (Indian People's Union) on October 21, 1951 at Delhi and became its first President.
In the 1952 General Elections to the Parliament of India, Mookerjee and the BJS won 3 seats.
Mookerjee went to visit Kashmir in 1953, and went on hunger strike to protest the law prohibiting Indian citizens from settling in a state in their own country and the need to carry ID cards, and was arrested on 11th May while crossing border. Although the ID card rule was revoked owing to his efforts, he died as detenu on <span style='color:red'>May 23, 1953 under mysterious circumstances. His death in custody raised wide suspicion across the country and demands for independent enquiry, including earnest requests from his mother to the then Prime Minister of India. Unfortunatley no enquiry commission was set up and his death remains a mystery.</span>

Proofs needed. Please substanciate. I have NEVER come across anyone calling Nathuram a mahatma. Not have I come across anyone calling Gandhi an "Asura", although he has been criticised severely and widely.
