Giriraj Singh Responds to Sonia Gandhis Memoir, Questions Her Political Claims

New Delhi, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : Union Minister Giriraj Singh criticized Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday following the release of her memoir, “Belonging: A Journey of Love.” He accused her of making false claims and raised questions about her political conduct and past decisions.

Singh suggested that Gandhi is attempting to portray herself as a victim, using her personal narrative for political gain. In an interview, he stated, “She is lying. She wants to appear like a martyr. Technically, she could not have become Prime Minister. I have heard that there were plans to place her in power, but as some believe, someone gave her sound advice that prevented her from assuming the position.”

The minister argued that Gandhi’s memoir reveals her true political stance and perspective. He expressed satisfaction that the book has exposed her real face.

Singh also referenced the controversial Batla House encounter, claiming that tears fell from Gandhi’s eyes when a terrorist was killed, yet she remained silent when Hindus were burned alive in Godhra. He noted, “When our brothers and sisters are shot by terrorists in Pahalgam after being asked about their religion, her tears dry up.”

Furthermore, he accused Congress leadership of being silent on the deaths of soldiers in terrorist attacks and killings by Naxalites. “When soldiers are killed in blasts during terrorist attacks or when Naxalites commit mass murders, their tears dry up. However, they shed tears for people like Afzal Guru. Perhaps their tears flow during events held on his death anniversary at JNU,” he remarked.

Singh also touched on the controversies surrounding Gandhi’s potential premiership and the internal rifts within the Congress party. He asserted, “These are facts. Who says they aren’t true? We are stating the facts. She did not acquire Indian citizenship until she realized her family could come to power. When did she obtain citizenship? In 1983. Before that, she was living here illegally.”

His comments come amid a flurry of political reactions following the release of Gandhi’s memoir, which has prompted leaders from various parties to share their views on her political and personal life events.
