Sonia Gandhi has often been questioned by opponents because of her family roots. Now, a picture of Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi with a book titled “How to convert India into Christian Nation”, has gone viral on internet. In the viral photo, the book is seen right on the shelf placed behind Sonia Gandhi with a statue of Jesus Christ and a Bible.
After the picture went viral, many news organizations tried to find out the truth behind the picture. Later, it was concluded that the picture is morphed.
A similar picture was out later on and it was found that there was neither statue of Jesus nor the book. The text on the blue book was edited.
