Former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi feared that if she resigned from the Prime Ministership in 1975, the Congress would split and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) would have an opportunity to advance politically.
According to the Indian newspaper 'The Tribune', this was revealed by former Congress President Sonia Gandhi in her new memoir 'Belonging: A Journey of Love', which was published on Tuesday.
The book details the political situation in India before the imposition of emergency, the growing influence of Sanjay Gandhi on his mother, the forced sterilization campaign, the demolition of slums and the internal dissensions of the Gandhi family.
According to Sonia Gandhi, after Indira Gandhi's election was annulled by the Allahabad High Court, her eldest son, who later became India's youngest Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi advised her to resign.
Sonia writes that 'Indira Gandhi feared that the RSSJ was using Prakash Narayan's movement to undermine the Congress and that political elements opposed to her government were uniting to destroy the Congress.'
