'Not interested right now': Rahul on Sonia Gandhi book row, cites 'crime' against Kharge

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated he has 'no interest' in the controversy surrounding his mother Sonia Gandhi's upcoming memoir, focusing instead on what he calls a 'crime' against party chief Mallikarjun Kharge. He responded to a reporter's question during a press conference following a 'purification' ritual after Kharge's rally in Uttarakhand. The memoir, titled 'Belonging: A Journey Of Love,' faced publication challenges after Sonia Gandhi reportedly rejected editorial changes. Penguin Random House India clarified they did not decline the book but emphasized their role in fact-checking and providing editorial suggestions. The publisher remains open to publishing the book, though they will not comment further on confidential discussions. Rahul Gandhi expressed personal enthusiasm for the memoir, linking it to his father Rajiv Gandhi's legacy.
