Supporters of the Congress party have gathered in large numbers outside the All India Congress Committee (AICC) displaying their solidarity with party president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi in view of the hearing of the National Herald case today.

The supporters also gathered near the Teen Murti in the national capital.

They proclaimed that they were not staging a protest on the request of their party chief but would be eager to lend support to the Congress party by all means.

They were of the view that Congress would come out clean in the National Herald Case and that they were waiting for the next order of their party supremo.

Meanwhile, security has been beefed up outside the Patiala House court and the Congress headquarters in Delhi. 16 additional CCTV cameras have been installed outside the court.

The court hearing for the National Herald case begins at 3:00 pm.
