New Delhi: Amid a row over Natwar Singh’s comments about Sonia Gandhi in his book, ex-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said that the claims made in the book was a bid to market the product and dismissed the former Union minister’s contention that PMO files were sent to the Congress president for approval.
The former Prime minister also used the occasion to attack his former media adviser Sanjaya Baru, saying that he too had tried to market his book by making certain claims. “This is their way of trying to market their product,” the former PM told a news agency.
He was responding when asked to react to certain comments made by his former colleague Natwar Singh about Sonia Gandhi with regard to her refusal to take up PM’s post in 2004 and other issues.
While saying that he had not seen Natwar Singh’s autobiographical book ‘One Life is Not Enough,’ Dr Singh said, “Private conversation should not be made public for capital gains.”
