Rahul Gandhi On Naravane Book Row: "Do You Believe Ex Army Chief Or Penguin?"

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi responded Tuesday to publisher Penguin Random House India's note about 'Four Stars of Destiny' – ex-Army chief General MM Naravane's memoir that has become the focus of a political row in Parliament between the ruling BJP and the opposition. This morning Penguin Random House India confirmed it holds exclusive publishing rights and that the manuscript has not been published, in any form, at this time. The publishing house said it wished to make its position clear in light of reports of unauthorised copies being circulated. Gandhi, however, pointed to a December 2023 tweet from General Naravane, a screenshot of which was shared by fact-checker Mohd. Zubair, and suggested Penguin was "lying".
