Publisher's Synopsis
The book deals in particular, with Indian politicians equally unsparingly exposing their role in the whole episode, irrespective of the positions they were occupying. He has been highly critical of the role of the then President Giani Zail Singh and the Kashmiri lobby around Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi and how these groups had evil influence over both of them, and how ultimately Rajiv Gandhi got rid of this lobby. This should be a lesson for the senior politicians that they should not blindly trust those surrounding them and they should keep an eye on their surroundings also, so that those around them do not exploit their position and also are not able to mislead the leader. But politicians in position do not give thought to such matters as a result they themselves become victims of their own surroundings, as it happened with Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. During Giani Zail Singh's tenure as President of India, Rashtrapati Bhawan had become the biggest centre of intrigues and conspiracies and even the Supreme Court had to express concern over the security aspects and falling standards in Rashtrapati Bhawan. The book highlights all these concerns with an open mind.
