Congress president Rahul Gandhi has constituted a steering committee for the forthcoming Plenary Session. This announcement was made on Friday, 16 February, and the first meeting would take place on Saturday, 17 February, at the AICC office in New Delhi.
The committee includes 34 members, including former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, former prime minister Manmohan Singh, former defence minister AK Antony, and other senior leaders of the party.
(The Quint, in association with BitGiving, has launched a crowdfunding campaign for an 8-month-old who was raped in Delhi on 28 January 2018. The baby girl, who we will refer to as 'Chhutki', was allegedly raped by her 28-year-old cousin when her parents were away. She has been discharged from AIIMS hospital after undergoing three surgeries, but needs more medical treatment in order to heal completely. Her parents hail from a low-income group and have stopped going to work so that they can take care of the baby. You can help cover Chhutki's medical expenses and secure her future. Every little bit counts. Click here to donate.)
