Congress President Sonia Gandhi will not be celebrating the New Year in view of the gang-rape incident in the national capital.

"Sonia Gandhi has appealed to partymen and well-wishers against coming to her to extend New Year greetings in the wake of gang-rape incident," party General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said in New Delhi on Monday.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Gandhi were present at the airport when the mortal remains of the 23-year-old gang-rape victim were flown in on Sunday morning from Singapore where she was shifted from Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital for treatment.
