Rahul Gandhi told reporters he would not discuss the controversy over Sonia Gandhi’s forthcoming memoir, saying his attention is on the alleged ‘crime’ against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, fielded questions about the dispute surrounding his mother Sonia Gandhi’s upcoming memoir, "Belonging". He said he is not interested in commenting on the book controversy at this time.
The lawmaker emphasized that his immediate concern is the alleged “crime” against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, suggesting that internal party issues take precedence over the memoir row.
The memoir controversy began after reports that Sonia Gandhi rejected certain editorial changes, prompting debate among political observers. Rahul’s remarks, however, redirected attention to the Kharge matter, which remains unresolved.
No further comment was provided, and the party’s spokesperson declined to elaborate on either issue.
