"The maximum number of 'nafrat ki dukan' was during the Congress time; the highest number of riots took place in your time. The way your family treated your party members, other family members show what 'mobahhat ke dukan' you speak about," the letter said. Referring to former PM Rajiv Gandhi's speech on November 19, 1984, the BJP leaders said, "Just think, at your father's 'mohabbat ki dukan', not even two words were spent for the Sukgs who suffered in the 1984 riots. And Jagdish Tytler is still very close to your family." "Rahul Ji, when you speak of Mohabbat ki dukan, the Emergency imposed by your grandmother flashes in front of our eyes making your 'mohabbat' a comedy...Nehru ji imprisoned poet Majrooh Sultanpuri for no reason..." it said. 'Congress' 'mohabbat' with Sitaram Kesri': Letter "Sitaram Kesri became the Congress president, outside the Gandhi-Nehru family, like Mallikarjun Kharge today is. And Congress's 'mohabbat' with him is mind-boggling. In 1998, he was locked up in the bathroom...even you did not spare Pranab Mukherjee who widened the path for Sonia Gandhi to be the party president. When Pranab Mukherjee was awarded Bharat Ratna in 2019, neither you nor Sonia Gandhi was present," the letter read 'Remember what you did with Ghulam Nabi Azad?' The letter mentions former J&K chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. "It is not a big thing for the Congress to insult senior leaders. Remember what you did with Ghulam Nabi Azad. He just showed your party a mirror throug...

In this hour of grief, my thoughts are with the entire family,” he tweeted

By Rasheed Kidwai: Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi lost her most important link with hometown Orbassano in Italy on August 27, 2022 Sonia was the second daughter of Paola and Stefano who had raised her as their Cenerentola, or Cinderella. The nickname, as the subsequent years proved, was not entirely fortuitous. Paola and Stefano sensed early on that unlike her sisters, Nadia and Anushka, Sonia always wanted to be different. As a young girl she was never comfortable in the dusty industrial town on the outskirts of Turin where she grew. Orbassano was a town, a muddle of apartment blocks and houses that had come up in the early 1950s as a result of the post-war boom in northern Italy. At home, the Mainos often conversed in Russian instead of Italian or Spanish, the three languages they would speak with ease. The Russian impact was there as Stefano had fought in Russia with the Germans. The Mainos were deeply influenced by the Russian language, culture and food and loved the country. They even gave Russian names to their three daughters. Paola was hard-working and disciplined, a quality that she passed on to her family, especially Sonia. Family friends said that by early 1965 Stefano had made enough money that he could fund his daughter’s education in Cambridge. Paola and Stefano had come to visit the United Kingdom when Sonia came to study English at the Lennox Cook School, Cambridge. Some Italian businessmen attributed the Mainos’ success to the 1980s boom in the co...
