Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on Monday following viral fever, was discharged this morning.

According to a statement issued by the hospital, the 69-year-old Congress president was discharged at 11:30 am in a stable condition.

“Mrs Gandhi has recovered from fever and has been discharged in stable condition,” Dr Arun Kumar Basu, senior consultant, Department of Chest and Pulmonology Medicine, SGRH, said.

Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital around 8 PM on Monday under the care of Dr Basu. At that time, he had informed that Sonia’s routine tests were conducted and she was reciprocating well. 

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala informed that that there was no cause for worry and the party president will resume Parliament duty soon. 

The party president had to stay at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for 12 days in August after she had fallen ill during a roadshow in Varanasi. She was operated upon for a shoulder injury also.
