New Delhi. Sonia Gandhi's much awaited book 'Belonging: A Journey of Love' was released today. The book was made available directly at the stores without any launching event. In this book, Sonia Gandhi has mentioned many important memoirs related to her personal life and political life. In her book, Sonia has also described those pains of her life which were never discussed. Sonia has told that she gave birth to her first son in 1969 but he died the very next day after his birth. Apart from this, Sonia also told that she has defeated cancer twice.
Sonia has written in her book that her first pregnancy was confirmed in September 1968. On January 18, 1969, she gave birth to a son through normal delivery. However, it was a premature delivery as the baby was born two months ahead of schedule. When the baby was placed in the incubator, I heard him cry for the first time. After this Rajiv took me to see the child, he was a very cute, fully developed baby. The family members were very happy but the child died the next day after birth. According to Sonia, she did not want the child's body to be thrown into the river, so her husband Rajiv and brother-in-law Sanjay buried the child's body at their farmhouse in Mehrauli.
Apart from this, Sonia Gandhi also told about her cancer journey and surgery. She wrote, in the year 2010, she had an operation due to fear of breast cancer. At that time she and her two children Rahul and Priyanka were very scared. He said that I had full faith in the doctors of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital but to keep this matter confidential, I decided to get the operation done at 'European Institute of Oncology' Milan. According to Sonia, a year later a lump was detected in the pancreas. It was a shock for all of us. This time he underwent surgery at the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam (Netherlands).
