Delay in Army action: Sonia Gandhi's 1984 riots claim was busted 40 years ago

Delay in Army action: Sonia Gandhi's 1984 riots claim was busted 40 years ago

What's behind this

Sonia Gandhi’s memoir Belonging: A Journey of Love has revived debate over the 1984 anti‑Sikh riots, specifically her claim that the Army was delayed in Delhi; the Justice Ranganath Misra Commission report’s official records are said to contradict her account, a discrepancy highlighted as being “busted” forty years after the events. Separately, Jagga Reddy announced at a Congress workers’ meeting in Sangareddy that the autobiography will be adapted into a Telugu feature film.
