New Delhi, Feb 18 (IBNS): A Congress delegation-led by Vice President Rahul Gandhi met President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday.

"I love my country..Nationalism is in my blood," Gandhi told reporters.

He said his family had sacrificed for the nation.

The attack occurred ahead of a hearing on the case related to Kumar.
