New Delhi, Oct 22: Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, made her debut on Instagram on Thursday with a post about her upcoming book.
In her first Instagram post, Sonia Gandhi shared a video clip showing her receiving copies of her forthcoming book, ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’.
“Hello everyone. I am very happy and grateful to share the first look at ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’ with you all. It is a story about love, duty, loss, and finding one’s own place. I am excited to share this with you,” she wrote in the caption.
“A story that explores love, duty, loss, and the search for a ‘place’—a heart-touching journey that will leave an indelible mark on your mind.”
A new chapter, a new way of sharing stories. CPP Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has made her debut on Instagram by sharing the ‘first look’ of the book ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’.
Upon joining Instagram, Sonia Gandhi followed the accounts of her son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi, as well as the official account of the party.
Key Congress leaders on Instagram, including Rahul Gandhi, began following the account of the former Congress president.
Several Congress leaders praised Sonia Gandhi on social media and expressed their enthusiasm regarding her book.
Jairam Ramesh, General Secretary in-charge of the Congress party’s Communications Department, shared a video clip posted by Gandhi and stated, “The much-awaited autobiography of Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi will be released on November 10.”
The uncertainty surrounding the publication of Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography, ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’, in India—which had arisen due to a disagreement between the author’s representatives and Penguin Random House India—has now come to an end. Harper Collins India announced last month that it would publish this book in India on November 10.
“One of the most anticipated political memoirs of our time, ‘Belonging’ is a dramatic and deeply personal story about love, identity, duty, and the sense of belonging. It offers a rare, insider’s perspective on India’s journey,” HarperCollins India stated.
This announcement from Harper Collins India follows a controversy involving Penguin Random House India (PRHI). PRHI, which had initially shown interest in publishing the memoir, later decided against releasing it in India. It was reported that disagreements arose between the publisher and the author’s representatives regarding editorial changes to the manuscript.
