The court had earlier issued summons against Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party Vice-President Rahul Gandhi in the case filed by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy for alleged irregularities in the acquisition of the newspaper. Sources in the Congress were quick to point out to journalists that December 9 is Sonia Gandhi's birthday. They wondered if their leader will have to attend court proceedings on that day.
