Son vs daughter: Pranab Mukherjee’s children spar over publishing his memoir

The conflict between his son and daughter has been witnessed over the book ‘The Presidential Years’ of the country’s former President Pranab Mukherjee, who has said goodbye to this world. Actually, the children of the former president clashed with each other over the publication of his book on Twitter. While Pranab Mukherjee’s daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee wants this book printed, his son Abhijeet has objected to it being done.

Abhijeet Mukherjee says that his father’s book should not be printed without his consent, while Sharmistha Mukherjee says his brother is obstructing the former president’s book from being printed. In fact, the former President has criticized the Congress party in its memoirs. In this book, Mukherjee has written about how the Congress lost its way since 2012. Rupa Prakashan was going to print this book. Currently, it has not been decided whether the book will be printed or not due to the controversy.

Abhijeet Mukherjee said that his father’s book should not be printed without his consent. Sharmishtha Mukherjee said that no one should stop printing her father’s book for cheap popularity. Doing so would be an insult to the former president. Abhijeet Mukherjee said, “Since his father has passed away, the book should not be published without his permission.” Already parts of the book are going viral without consent. They cannot allow it to be printed without reading the final copy of the copy. He also said that if Mukherjee had been alive, he too would have done so. ‘

Sharmishtha Mukherjee said on Twitter, “I request my brother to allow this book to be published.” Pranab Mukherjee completes the book before he dies. Please do not interrupt this work. The final draft has my father’s handwritten notes and comments that have been strictly followed. The views expressed by him are his own and no one should try to stop him from publishing the book for any cheap popularity. ‘
