It was on this day in 1944 when Rajiv Gandhi was born. He served as the seventh Prime Minister of India from 1984 to 1989. On his 75th birth anniversary, several Congress leaders and family members offered their tributes to the former Prime Minister in New Delhi. Among top Congress leaders were Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Dr. Manmohan Singh. Senior Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Ahmed Patel too offered their tributes in remembrance.

Even a few months back, the country witnessed the brother-sister bond when Priyanka Gandhi met Rahul Gandhi at the Kanpur airport in Uttar Pradesh. Pictures of their meeting were shared on the social media which showed the duo sharing some light-hearted moments.

Rahul Gandhi said he had accepted Malik's invitation to visit J&K and meet people without any conditions and termed the governor's reply "feeble"."Dear Maalik (sic) ji, I saw your feeble reply to my tweet. "I accept your invitation to visit Jammu & Kashmir and meet the people, with no conditions attached. When can I come?" he said.

East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet... Rudyard Kipling might have had no inkling of what 2019 would bring to the connotation of his lines. But thanks to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik -- the lines make more sense than ever.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Wednesday hit out at Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik, saying his invitation to Rahul Gandhi to visit the state was a "tool of propaganda" and never sincere.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Tuesday lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for putting "pre-conditions" for a visit to the state and alleged he was trying to "create unrest" by seeking to bring a delegation of opposition leaders.

Wayanad has been affected by rains in Kerala this monsoon, along with other districts like Malappuram and Kozhikode. A total of 12 deaths have been reported in Wayanad and around 37,075 people have been displaced and shifted to more than 210 relief camps.

Satya Pal Malik invited Rahul Gandhi after he claimed that there were instances of violence in Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution which gave special status to the state.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik said he would send an aircraft for the Congress leader to visit the Kashmir Valley and observe the ground situation.

All the 14 districts in the state, except Kollam, have people taking shelter in over 1,600 relief camps. Malappuram district with over 54,000 people has the largest number of people in the camps.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Sunday began his Kerala visit to review situation in his Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency ravaged by floods and landslides. Accompanied by Congress general secretary K C Venugopal, Gandhi arrived at the Karipur airport near here on Sunday afternoon. He would later visit some rain-hit places in neighbouring Mallapuram district three assembly segments of which form part of Wayanad constituency, party sources said.

When the names of Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Mukul Wasnik and Jyotiraditya Scindia were proposed at the sub-group discussions, very few hands came up in agreement. Worried at the prospect of a split in the party ranks, the Congress fell back on Sonia Gandhi to lead the party.

After Sonia Gandhi deftly led the Congress for 19 long years and wrested power twice at the Centre and in several states, she was back in the saddle on Saturday to steer it out of troubled waters once again.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday night that some reports have come in from Jammu and Kashmir about violence there and Prime Minister Narendra Modi must assuage concerns over the matter in a "transparent" manner.

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet for the second time on Saturday evening to take a final call on the new party president after a number of leaders, including state chiefs and MPs, backed Rahul Gandhi to continue on the post despite his refusal to reconsider his resignation.

Rahul Gandhi's reaction came after Khattar on Friday courted controversy with his remarks that some people of Haryana are saying that they "can now get brides from Kashmir", apparently in a reference to the scrapping of the special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution.

After a deliberation that lasted almost the entire day on Saturday, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) has appointed Sonia Gandhi as interim president of the Congress.

Senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Friday said that even a “slightest” delay in appointing a new president was “not an option”.

Former Congress chief and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking help for people affected by flood following incessant rain in Kerala over the past two days.

In a letter to Sushma Swaraj's husband Swaraj Kaushal, Rahul Gandhi said, "I am deeply saddened by the untimely demise of your wife, Sushma Swaraj ji. We have lost an extraordinary parliamentarian and a gifted orator."
