New Delhi:
Congress president Sonia Gandhi has returned to India after "a routine checkup" abroad, said spokesperson Janardhan Dwivedi. She had travelled abroad on February 28.
In August last year, Mrs Gandhi travelled to the United States for surgery, and spent nearly six weeks there. Her party had not officially disclosed which hospital she was checked into, or her doctors' diagnosis. Different media reports had claimed Mrs Gandhi was at the Sloane-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, though this was not confirmed by Congress spokespersons.
At the time, Mrs Gandhi had set up a core team of people including her son, Rahul, to manage the party's affairs.
