Sonia Gandhi’s book attempts to give her family clean chit over 1984 anti-Sikh massacre: BJP

NEW DELHI The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) alleged that former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, through her book, attempted to shield former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Congress leadership from responsibility for the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre.
