Word is that Congress president Sonia Gandhi, known for her generally well-attended Iftar parties, is not holding one this year. Some reports are attributing the move to a conscious decision taken by the party to mark a shift from their “minority appeasing” image. Reportedly, the party will instead distribute Ramzan kits among the poor in view of the drought. Last year, Sonia Gandhi’s Iftar saw a full house, with representatives of nine Opposition parties in attendance.
