Vishwa Hindu Parishad's Central Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain issued a statement on November 10, 2026, comparing Sonia Gandhi's alleged reaction to the demolition of the Babri structure and the Batla House encounter of 2008, raising the question that Sonia Gandhi expressed grief over the demolition of the Babri structure, but why did she not show the same condolences on the martyrdom of Delhi Police Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, who was injured in the Batla House encounter?
Apart from this, Surendra Jain also talked about the incidents of killings of Hindus and damage to temples in Kashmir Valley. He also claimed that more than 350 temples were demolished in the valley. Apart from this, he also raised the issue of killing of Congress leaders in Bastar by Naxalites, killing of Hindu tourists in Pahalgam and anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader accused Congress of doing politics of Muslim appeasement. He also said that ignoring the sentiments of Hindus and the sacrifices of security personnel in this way is not acceptable. Apart from this, the organization has demanded an apology from Sonia Gandhi and other Congress leaders for their statements.
The thing to note is that this controversy has come to light on the day of distribution of Sonia Gandhi's book in the market. However, these allegations of Vishwa Hindu Parishad are statements of the leaders of the organization. In this entire matter, there is no confirmation yet about the official response from Sonia Gandhi on these allegations.
