MEDIA SENSATIONALIZING NATWAR SINGHS BOOK:MANI SHANKAR AIYAR
Former external affairs minister Natwar Singh whose association with the Gandhi family ended on a sour note after he was asked to quit his post in the Manmohan Singh Cabinet in 2004 has claimed in his autobiography that Congress President Sonia Gandhi had refused the PM post because her son and Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi asked her not to take up the post as he feared she would be assassinated just like his father Rajiv Gandhi.
