New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi hugged the
mother of the dead gang-raped woman several times and both women
cried, as the UPA chairperson Saturday evening went to "share the
sorrow" of the family of the 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist.
Sonia Gandhi along with her son, Congress vice president Rahul
Gandhi, and some MPs went to the house of the woman in south west
Delhi on a day a city court framed charges against five of the six
rapists.
"Sonia Gandhi and the woman's mother held hands and both hugged
several times and cried," a source who was present at the meeting
told IANS.
"There was no agenda to Sonia Gandhi going to meet the family..
they just went to express solidarity with the parents of the young
woman," the source added.
"Sonia Gandhi assured that justice will be done,"
