P V Narasimha Rao's son Ranga Rao today criticised the comments made by late Arjun Singh against his father in a book, which said the former Prime Minister was opposed to Sonia Gandhi. He was also very critical of the book written by veteran journalist Kuldip Nayar, which blamed late Rao for thedemolition of Babri mosque on the basis of a reported claim by socialist leader Madhu Limaye.   

Lamenting that "vested interests" were trying to spew venom at his late father, P V Ranga Rao said the former Prime Minister's family was "very unhappy and sad" about it. "What is being written in these books is not fair to father.   We don't expect such things about a person who is no more," Ranga Rao said. "How can anyone talk something ill about a person who is no more...a person who cannot defend himself?," Rao said reacting to the claims made in late Congress leader Arjun's soon-to-be-released posthumous autobiography 'A Grain of Sand in the Hourglass of Time'.   

In the book, Singh had quoted P V Narasimha Rao as saying, "Why should Congress party be hitched to the Nehru-Gandhi family like train compartments to the engine" when a suggestion was made that Sonia be made Congress chiefafter the assassination of her husband Rajiv Gandhi in May, 1991.
