TIWN
New Delhi, Oct 23 (TIWN) Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday morning visited party leader D.K. Shivakumar at the Tihar Jail here. She was accompanied by party General Secretary in-charge of Karnataka K.C. Venugopal.
Gandhi was at Tihar last month also to visit former minister P Chidambaram who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the INX Media case. The party had then deputed its senior leaders led by Ahmed Patel to meet DK Shivakumar, who was a minister in Karnataka’s previous HD Kumaraswamy government. The Congress interim president’s visits to jail to meet party leaders are designed to send a message that the party was firmly behind the two senior politicians. The Congress says both of them had been targeted by central agencies because of political vendetta, not because they violated the law.
