BJP's C R Keshavan Accuses Sonia Gandhi of Whitewashing Emergency in Recently Published Memoir

C R Kesavan said the memoir tries to justify the 1975 Emergency and downplays the Nehru-Gandhi family’s historical wrongs, PTI reported.

  • On Tuesday, Chairperson Sonia Gandhi released her memoir, "Belonging: A Journey of Love," prompting BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan to accuse her of "sugarcoating" historical wrongs committed by the Nehru-Gandhi family.
  • Kesavan labeled the memoir's treatment of the 1975 Emergency "appalling and shocking," alleging Gandhi attempted to "normalise and justify" the measure imposed by Indira Gandhi, which he said "murdered our Constitution."
  • Questioning the book's omissions, Kesavan cited the 1984 Sikh massacre and 26/11 Mumbai attacks, asking if Gandhi wept for victims as she did for Batla House terrorists.
  • Kesavan argued the memoir should be titled "Whitewashing" instead of "Belonging," asserting its motive is "camouflaging the cardinal sins" committed by the Congress Party.
  • While Gandhi stated the book reflects values like loyalty and sincerity, Kesavan thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "resolutely course-correcting the historical wrongs" allegedly committed by Congress.
