'Amanat' case: I'm with you, Sonia Gandhi tells protesters

New Delhi: "I am with you...and justice will be delivered."

This is what Congress chief Sonia Gandhi told a group of protesters outside her 10-Janpath residence shortly after midnight.

Making a surprise move, Mrs Gandhi came out of her residence at around 12.10 AM and talked to protesters for around 20 minutes over women security issues.

She sat on the ground with protesters while security personnel encircled the group she was talking to.

According to a protester, Mrs Gandhi told them "I am with you.

I can't tell when the justice will be delivered, but surely it will be. We will do something."

The protesters when asked for a deadline, she said, "I can't give you a deadline but action will be taken."

Mrs Gandhi also expressed her desire to meet some of the protesters today morning and hear their grievances.

Delhi has been witnessing a series of protests against the brutal gang-rape of 23-year-old medical student Amanat (NOT her real name) with students clashing with police yesterday at Raisina ill, the seat of power.
