Breaking her silence on the censorship row involving her upcoming memoir, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi has said that publisher Penguin Random House India was “uneasy” with criticism of the government.

While she was disappointed that the publisher did not go ahead with the book, she was not surprised. Penguin Random House India (PRHI) was initially keen to publish the memoir, “Belonging: A Journey of Love”, but subsequently said it would not be the Indian publisher.
