A political controversy has surfaced following the release of Sonia Gandhi's memoir, leading to strong criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party. Union Minister Giriraj Singh accused Sonia Gandhi of selective empathy, questioning her reactions to events like the Babri demolition and Batla House encounter while remaining silent on others such as the Pahalgam terror attack and violence against Hindus. The BJP also condemned the Congress party for actions during the 1975 Emergency, including suppressing democracy and detaining journalists.
