Congress party members to rename children Sonia
Say move aimed at fighting communal forces

Congress party leaders met today at the Congress party headquarters at 10 Janpath and unanimously agreed to rename children of all party members ‘Sonia’.

Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y.S Rajshekar Reddy explained the resolution “the CWC in a unanimous resolution voted for a change. Henceforth it is mandatory for all party members to name their children, both existing and future ones, ‘Sonia’.

He rejected questions on sycophancy by adding “We firmly believe that this change would be in the party’s interests as it would unify the cadre at every level. Also, if everyone had children named Sonia, it would give us something to talk about in CWC meetings. Infact, I would recommend that every secular Indian rename his child ‘Sonia’ to fight the forces of communalism.”


In an interview later, Kapil Sibal was questioned by reporters about the difficulty faced by workers who didn’t have girl children. He said “who said anything about girl children? The resolution specifies no such discrimination. The resolution includes both sexes. Infact, Rajshekar Reddy has just renamed his only son Sonia.”

On hearing the news of the BJP accusing Sonia of megalomania, veteran congress leader Renuka Chowdary strongly defended her ‘supreme leader’. “The original resolution suggested we rename all party workers and their children, but Soniaji wouldn’t hear any of it, so we had to tone it down to its present status. I don’t think any further proof of her humility is required” she said before breaking into tears and asking Sonia Gandhi to reconsider her decision.
