Pranab Mukherjee Memoirs

It's a story that needs to be told. And perhaps Pranab's memoir will shed a little light on it, no matter how much his children squabble.

Pranab Mukherjee's son Abhijit Mukerjee, after a public fight with his sister Sharmistha over the former President's last book, insisted today that the publishers should hold the book until he read through, claiming his father "had he been alive, would have gone through it before final roll out".

Pranab Mukherjee's last book, teased as a tell-all memoir by its publisher, has caused a public fight between his son Abhijit Mukherjee and daughter Sharmishtha Mukherjee, both Congress leaders.

At a time the Congress confronts in-house criticism of its top leadership after a string of election defeats, a soon-to-be-released final volume of Pranab Mukherjee's memoirs may stir more debate. The former President, who died in October, writes that "some members of the Congress" believed if he had become Prime Minister in 2004 instead of Manmoha...

"I will miss his tantrums" is what Congress president Sonia Gandhi said while bidding farewell to Pranab Mukherjee from the Congress Working Committee at a meeting which formally approved his name as the UPA's presidential nominee in June 2012.

As the second edition of his memoirs was released on Thursday, President Pranab Mukherjee said 'some secrets will be buried with me'. Some revelations in his book, on politics in India during the turbulent 1980s and 1990s, have caused a flutter.

The second volume of President Pranab Mukherjee's memoirs was released today and a third one is being written, but they by no means contain all of his "secrets", the author hinted.

President Pranab Mukherjee's book in which he reminisces about crucial events of his political life including Indira Gandhi's assassination, Babri Masjid demolition, operation Blue Star and his ouster from Rajiv Gandhi's Cabinet was released today by Vice President Hamid Ansari.
