State Congress leader Deborah Mark, who has been appointed as All India Mahila Congress secretary in-charge Assam, met Rahul on Friday.
She said the Congress president agreed to address the convention of the Congress women of the northeastern states.
“The convention will be held in Meghalaya and the date and venue will be decided after the district council polls,” Marak said on Sunday.
