Congress president Sonia Gandhi meets DK Shivakumar in Tihar jail
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday met his party leader DK Shivakumar, who is lodged in Tihar jail after getting arrested in connection with a money laundering case, media reports said.
Along with Sonia, Congress leader Ambika Soni was also present.
The Delhi High Court will on Wednesday give its verdict on Shivakumar's bail plea.
Shivakumar, the troubleshooter for Karnataka Congress, was arrested in September by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Terming the leader's arrest as a "political vendetta", the Congress had said it was yet another attempt by the government to distract the public from their failed policies and the sorry state of the economy.
