Sonia was scheduled to lay foundation stone for an upcoming colony near Bemina for rehabilitation of Dal Lake dewellers, besides inauguration of a fashion shopping complex Sangarmal in Srinagar. Since both the functions are related to ministry of housing & urban development which fall under Dy. CM Tara Chand, he and his collegus besides some other leaders were instrumental in inviting Sonia Gandhi and ensuring her presence in their two shows.
