Sonia returns to Delhi after undergoing surgery abroad

New Delhi, Sep 8: Congress President Sonia Gandhi returned to the capital on Thursday early morning from abroad where she underwent surgery a month ago for an undisclosed ailment.

"Congress President returned early today and she is fine," party general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said.

10 Janpath sources said she is not meeting anyone. The 64-year-old Gandhi had left the country on August two and had thereafter undergone a surgery.

Immediately after her departure, Congress had made a brief announcement saying Gandhi had been recently diagnosed with a medical condition and was advised surgery.

The Congress President had handed over reins of the party to a group of four comprising Rahul Gandhi and senior leaders A K Antony, Ahmed Patel and Dwivedi. Rahul had recently returned to India after attending to his ailing mother.
