THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, February 25: Sonia Gandhi, who addressed a series of well-attended meetings in Kerala on Monday, did not respond to a request by the media here for an interaction with her.Thiruvananthapuram Press Club, in a letter sent to Sonia, had asked her to take some time off from her busy schedule in the State to address the Press.
The club had noted that it would be most befitting if Sonia started off facing the media in a politically conscious and literate State like Kerala.
The club had also sent copies of the letter to many persons, including Congress president Sitaram Kesri. However, there was no reply from Sonia, who has assiduously kept a safe distance from the Press, nor an acknowledgement of the letter sent by the club.
