A controversy has started after Rahul Gandhi showed a hardbound copy of former Army chief MM Naravane’s memoir, which has not been officially released. The book, Four Stars of Destiny, was earlier put on hold as it was under Defence Ministry review. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had said the book was not published. Reports say some printed copies had briefly reached bookstores before being recalled. The publisher has not publicly clarified the printing status. Sources told media that Gandhi may have received the copy from the author or publisher. Officials say manuscripts are often shared for review, but printed copies before clearance are unusual.
