Congress President Sonia Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi has asked her cousin Varun Gandhi to read the Gita and try to understand it properly.
Talking to media persons on Monday, Priyanka said, "It is really very sad to see him saying all this on television."
What Varun had said clearly goes against principles that the Gandhi family had stood for and lived for, she added.
