Sonia Gandhi, who turned 74 on Wednesday, has decided not to celebrate her birthday amid the farmers distress and the Covid-19 pandemic. She has asked her party workers to be involved in relief work instead.

The party leaders are pouring in with birthday wishes. "Long life to her", Salman Khurshid wrote on social media; "Best wishes to Hon'ble Congress President and UPA Chairperson Smt Sonia Gandhi. May she be blessed with good health," Khurshid said.
