Naravane Book Row: Rahul Questions FIR, Backs Former Army Chief |Says ‘Either Penguin Is Lying Or…’

Naravane Book Controversy: Reacting to the Delhi Police filing an FIR to investigate the alleged circulation of former Army chief General M.M. Naravane’s unpublished book, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday questioned the basis of the ...

probe and backed the retired General’s claims.

Rahul Gandhi cited a social media post by Gen Naravane in which the former Army chief shared a link to his book, arguing that either Gen Naravane or the publisher, Penguin, was not telling the truth. While Penguin has maintained that the book has not been published, Rahul Gandhi pointed out that the book is listed on Amazon and that Gen Naravane had earlier urged readers to buy the book. “I don’t think the former Army chief will lie. I believe Naravane ji over Penguin,” Rahul Gandhi said, alleging that certain statements in the book may be inconvenient for the Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which, he claimed, could be the reason behind the investigation.
