Veteran Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has been a force to reckon with since her entrance into politics. The leader has been the longest serving president of the oldest party in the country and turns 73 today. However, she will not be celebrating her birthday in the wake of the increasing rape incidents in various parts of the country and concerns over women's security, sources said.


Senior Congress leaders and prominent leaders in the country have taken to Twitter to convey their best wishes and to praise her exemplary leadership and dedication towards the party.
