Political leader Khanna criticised Sonia’s recently released book, saying its depiction of history is biased and regrettable.
Khanna, a senior political figure, publicly described Sonia’s newly published book as offering a one‑sided view of Indian history, calling the portrayal unfortunate. The comment was made shortly after the book’s launch, which aims to recount historical events from the author’s perspective.
The criticism highlights a broader debate in India over how history is narrated in popular literature. Observers note that books dealing with the nation’s past often attract scrutiny from politicians and scholars who seek balanced representation.
Amar Ujala reported Khanna’s remarks from Jalandhar, noting that no response from Sonia or her publisher has been recorded yet. The statement adds to ongoing discussions about historical accuracy and bias in contemporary Indian writing.
The episode underscores the sensitivity surrounding historical narratives and the role of public figures in shaping discourse around cultural publications.
