Sonia Gandhi admitted to Delhi's Ganga Ram Hospital

 


The former Congress president has been suffering from a respiratory infection and has been unwell since Tuesday when the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ began its Uttar Pradesh leg, news agency PTI reported.

Former Congress President Sonia Gandhi has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, news agency PTI reported on Wednesday. Her daughter and the grand old party's general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accompanied her to the hospital, the report added.

This was a routine checkup for the 76-year-old veteran Congress leader.

The PTI report stated, citing the sources, that Gandhi has been suffering from a respiratory infection. They said that Gandhi has been unwell since Tuesday which is why her son and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka had returned to Delhi after walking seven kilometres in the party's ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. The yatra entered its Uttar Pradesh leg on Tuesday evening.

Congress leader and former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah lamented over Gandhi's hospitalisation and wished her a “speedy recovery and healthy return”.

“Sad to know that senior INC India leader Smt Sonia Gandhi is admitted to the hospital. I wish her a speedy recovery and healthy return,” he tweeted.

The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ resumed at 6am today from UP's Mavikalan in Baghpat district after halting there for the night.

Rahul, who has been seen in a white t-shirt throughout the yatra's legs in Haryana and Delhi despite biting cold, was snapped walking in the march this morning. Priyanka, meanwhile, did not join his brother after the yatra resumed but Congress sources told PTI that she is expected to come back in afternoon.

Gandhi, who has been battling health issues since contracting Covid-19 last year, had travelled abroad for a neck checkup a few months ago. She also joined the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in Karnataka's Mandya and was later seen with Rahul, Priyanka and her husband Robert Vadra in Delhi. The Delhi leg of the yatra was the first time the entire Gandhi family came together for Congress's biggest public outreach movement, which the grand old party has stated is aimed at bringing the country together.

Hindu group defaces a mall in Ahmedabad over the promotion of "Pathaan," tearing down SRK and Deepika Padukone posters.

  In protest against the advertising of the 'Pathaan' film, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, the Hindu group Bajrang Dal vandalised a mall in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The next film, which is set to be released on January 25, has had its posters torn down. At Ahmedabad's Alphavan Mall, a Hindu group made a scene before the movie's release. They urged them not to release the movie in theatres in addition to ripping down the movie's posters. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham's starrer film 'Pathaan' has been in the middle of multiple controversies since the release of its song "Besharam Rang'.

Since the song's release, activists have organised demonstrations against the upcoming Bollywo...
