Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was all smiles as he sat next to Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi at Sonia's iftar party. Other political leaders also made it to the event hosted at The Ashok hotel in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. 

Pakistan's enovy Abdul Basit was also present at the party. However, no Samajwadi Party leader attended the event. Bihar chieftain Lalu Prasad Yadav has already declined Sonia's invitation as he is in a sulk that the Congress party finalised an alliance with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar before he could seal a deal with the latter, thus strengthening his rival's hands. 

Considerable significance is being attached to the get-together ahead of the Monsoon Session, with many speculating that the leaders would are likely to deliberate on the strategy for Parliament session beginning July 21.
