Sonia Gandhi to not celebrate her birthday in view of farmers’ protests

Goa: Congress president Sonia Gandhi has decided not to celebrate her birthday on Wednesday in view of the ongoing farmers’ agitation and the Covid-19 pandemic, a party functionary said Tuesday.

The leader, who will turn 74 on December 9, is currently in Goa after doctors advised her to shift out of Delhi in view of heavy pollution and poor air quality that had aggravated her chest infection.

The Congress has already extended its support to the farmers’ agitation and demanded repeal of the three new agriculture laws.
