It was 35 years ago when Rahul Gandhi last saw his famous parents – Sonia and Rajiv Gandhi – together.
Since the day Papa left, I have watched you face everything life threw at you with never-ending courage and dignity. “I last saw you and Papa together more than 35 years ago. Earlier, publisher Alfred A Knopf announced on Tuesday that Sonia Gandhi’s memoir will be published on November 10. In the memoir, the 79-year-old Congress veteran, who holds the distinction of being Congress longest-serving president, revisits her childhood in Italy, her romance with former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi during their time at Cambridge, and the assassinations of her mother-in-law, Indira Gandhi, and husband Rajiv Gandhi.
Since then, the Junior Gandhi, in a public post addressed to his mother, said he has seen her “never-ending courage and dignity”. Only Priyanka and I really know what you have been through, and how difficult your life after Papa truly was,” Rahul Gandhi said on his late father Rajiv Gandhi’s 82nd birth anniversary. “I am happy, and so proud, that your story – “Belonging: A Journey of Love” – will finally be read by the millions of people who love you. I know how hard it was for someone as private as you to tell the world your beautiful story,” he said in an emotional post.
