New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi is recovering at Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi after a fungal infection was detected in her lower respiratory tract earlier this week, the party confirmed on Friday.
“She was immediately put under treatment and underwent a related follow-up procedure yesterday morning,” a statement released by the party read.
Sonia Gandhi, 75, had tested positive for Covid-19 on June 2 and was rushed to the emergency room of the New Delhi hospital last week, about 10 days after testing positive for Covid-19. At the time, the party had said she was in a stable condition and would remain at the hospital under observation.
Citing her health, Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi had asked the Enforcement Directorate to defer the next hearing of his ongoing questioning in an alleged money-laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper.
Rahul Gandhi, who has already been questioned for more than 30 hours over three days, is now to be questioned next Monday, June 20 after he sought permission to visit mother Gandhi.
