Karnataka Cong leaders hail Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography

Bengaluru, Nov 11 (UNI) Congress leaders in Karnataka on Wednesday welcomed Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's autobiography, Belonging: A Journey of Love, describing it as a reflection of sacrifice, perseverance, personal courage and unwavering commitment to ideals.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Media and Communication Department Chairman Ramesh Babu described the autobiography as a sincere account of Sonia Gandhi's personal journey, marked by love, loss, duty and resolve, and of the country she gradually learned to call home.
In a statement, he said the book deserved to be read slowly and revisited, highlighting its central message, "Be true to yourself", as an important lesson for the younger generation.
At a time when young people face constant comparisons and pressure to conform, the message reminded them that integrity, conviction and compassion mattered more than public approval, he said.
Ramesh Babu said a life of character was built on remaining faithful to one's values through hardships as well as success. He congratulated Sonia Gandhi on the memoir, expressing confidence that it would inspire readers for years to come.
Karnataka Congress President BK Hariprasad also welcomed the autobiography, describing Sonia Gandhi's life as a distinctive chapter in India's political history and an example of sacrifice, patience, struggle and steadfast commitment.
In a post on X, Hariprasad said he was delighted to receive a copy of the book and described Sonia Gandhi as his favourite leader.
He said her political journey was inspiring as she had endured personal tragedies, faced challenges with courage and accorded greater importance to ideals than to positions of power.
Hariprasad said he had closely observed her ability to retain her convictions, ideological commitment and dignity despite personal grief, criticism and political challenges.
"Some lives do not merely become part of history; they show history the way forward," he said, describing Sonia Gandhi's life as a rare example.
He expressed hope that the autobiography would provide insights not only into the life of a political leader but also into the sacrifices of a family, the struggles of a political party and significant phases in India's democratic journey.
