Center Owned by The Avenue Mail“They will kill you too”: The tragedies that built Sonia Gandhi
What's behind this
Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, released on November 10 and published by HarperCollins India, revisits the 1984 crisis in Delhi by blaming Army chief General A.S. Vaidya for the delay in deploying the army after the night of Indira Gandhi’s assassination. The book raises again the question of why the army was not used to stop the killings of Sikhs in November 1984, and notes that the family later heard about the orders given to Vaidya.
