‘Putting together letters by Gandhis & digitising them’

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi revealed here on Friday that she was currently in midst of putting together and digitising the letters exchanged between her mother-in-law late Indira Gandhi and son Rajiv Gandhi during the latter’s school days.

Participating in “India Today Conclave-2018”, Gandhi disclosed that after relinquishing her post as the President of the Congress party, she was relieved very much.

“(After quitting as the party president)I am actually relieved. Huge weight off my shoulder.  I have much more time to do things like reading or watching a movie which I never could do before,” she said.

“Now I have a lot of work at home in terms of tidying up old papers belonging to my husband Rajiv and his mother i.e., my mother-in-law. I am trying to put the letters together and digitise them. These are letters that my mother-in-law used to write to Rajiv in school and his replies. From the sentimental point of view, they are important. They have just been kept for so long. I am now trying tidy them up,” Gandhi said.
