In addition to the prime minister, the former head of the Congress was greeted by Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, Shashi Tharoor, and MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
Gandhi, according to Kharge, has consistently fought for the rights of the underprivileged. “A tireless defender of the rights of the marginalised, she has faced hardship with bravery, tenacity, and selfless sacrifice. She has also been a symbol of the highest grace. I hope she lives a long, healthy life.

“Her life journey is an inspiration for us all. She steered the Congress through an extremely challenging period with great poise and was the architect of the UPA government that delivered welfare for all and exponential growth for the country,” he said.
