Congress leaders on Tuesday welcomed Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, describing it as an important literary work that offers insights into her personal life and political journey.
Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid recalled the developments surrounding Sonia Gandhi’s decision not to become Prime Minister after the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) came to power in 2004. He said many party leaders had wanted her to take the post and were disappointed when she declined, but accepted her decision as the best course.
Commenting on the book’s reference to the Babri Masjid issue, Khurshid described the events of December 6, 1992, as unfortunate and said BJP leaders had also acknowledged this.
Former Union Minister Ashwani Kumar described reading Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography as a responsibility for citizens, citing her stature as a prominent woman leader and the challenges she had faced during her public life. He said the book presented her life and experiences to readers and highlighted her patience, self-esteem and commitment to dignity.
Kumar said Sonia Gandhi had maintained dignity throughout her political career while fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother and wife. He added that readers would be interested in learning more about her experiences through the memoir, and wished her well with the book.
Belonging: A Journey of Love brings together Sonia Gandhi’s reflections on her personal life and political journey and has prompted reactions from leaders across the political spectrum.
