New Delhi, Dec 09: Congress president and leader of
opposition Sonia Gandhi turned 56 today but the celebrations
were low-key.
Senior party leaders, members of parliament and large
number of partymen greeted Gandhi on her birth day.
They visited her residence early in the morning and
wished her a happy and healthy life.
A dance troop from Karnataka and several music bands from
Delhi performed on the occasion in front of her residence at
10-Janpath, making it festive occasion.
Film star Govinda also visited Gandhi and greeted her a
successful life.
Gandhi had on Saturday asked party workers and leaders
not to celebrate her birthday in an "ostentatious manner."
Recalling people's suffering on account of the worst-ever
drought in different parts of the country, Gandhi had appealed
to workers and leaders to contribute their mite in whatever
manner they could for extending relief to the affected people.
