The full story

Families of victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, together with members of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), gathered at Rakab Ganj Gurdwara in New Delhi to burn copies of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's newly released memoir, titled 'Belonging: A Journey of Love'. Led by DSGMC president Harmeet Singh Kalka and general secretary Jagdeep Singh Kahlo, protesters raised slogans at the gurdwara's 'Wall of Truth' to express their anger over Gandhi's description of the 1984 violence. The demonstrators objected to the book's framing of the riots and statements regarding former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, arguing that the account fails to reflect historical suffering and attempts to whitewash the role of the Congress party and the Gandhi family. No official response or police counter-measures were reported in the sources.
