Sonia, Rahul to watch Indo-Pak semi final

New Delhi, Mar 29 (PTI) Congress President Sonia
Gandhi, her son Rahul and other members of the family are
expected to watch the high-voltage World Cup cricket
semi-final between India and Pakistan in Mohali Wednesday.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has also sent an
invitation to Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi to watch
the match between the arch-rivals.
It is expected that Rahul, despite nursing a fractured
leg, his sister Priyanka Gandhi and her husband Robert Vadra,
would be in attendance to enjoy the big match of the
tournament.
The match at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium in
Mohali will be witnessed by the Prime Ministers of both the
countries.
Over 2200 security personnel drawn from Punjab, in
addition to NSG commandos and central police forces, have been
deployed to ensure security for the day-night match.
Wednesday's semi-final between India and Pakistan is
the first match between the two cricket-crazy nations in
India since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
