Congress President Sonia Gandhi has postponed the UPA lunch scheduled for tomorrow in view of the death of Union Minister Gopinath Munde in a road accident.
Party general secretary Janardan Dwivedi said the lunch programme, which was to happen on June 5 has been postponed and it will now be organised on June 10.
Sources said that the leadership felt that it will not be proper to organise the lunch programme for the MPs just a couple of days after the tragedy.
