Jaipur, November 12: Following former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Leader of the Opposition Tikarama Julie has also read Sonia Gandhi‘s autobiography, “Belonging: A Journey of Love.” Julie stated that reading this book is not merely about exploring a life story; it is an extraordinary journey filled with sacrifice, devotion, love, pain, and unwavering patriotism. He shared photos of himself reading the book on social media on Thursday.

The book was released on November 10 without any launch event. Within just two days, two prominent figures from the Rajasthan Congress have publicly commented on it, while BJP state president Madan Rathore has raised questions regarding the sections related to the Emergency.

‘Considered the Country as Family’

Julie noted that Sonia Gandhi regarded this nation as her family and embraced the soil of India as her identity. Even during the toughest times, she never wavered in her duty, principles, and dedication to the country.

He mentioned that millions of Congress workers, like himself, have closely witnessed Sonia Gandhi’s patience, courage, sacrifice, and struggle. Despite the unbearable pain of losing loved ones, she did not allow personal grief to interfere with her public responsibilities. Julie recalled the year 2004, stating that Sonia Gandhi prioritized her principles and values over the opportunity to become Prime Minister.

Rare Photos of Rajiv Gandhi

The Leader of the Opposition remarked that the autobiography features rare photographs taken by the late former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, which vividly bring back memories. According to him, each photo tells an emotional story, and every page introduces readers to Sonia Gandhi’s sacrifices, dedication, struggle, and love. Julie described the book as a priceless document of courage, selfless sacrifice, and unwavering resolve, where the nation, democracy, and principles are placed above personal pain.
