Sonia Gandhi hospitalised for infection

NEW DELHI: India’s opposition Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi was hospitalised on Thursday for treatment of lower respiratory tract infection, a party official said. Gandhi was admitted to New Delhi’s Ganga Ram Hospital, according to the Press Trust of India news agency, which cited party spokesman Ajay Maken.

Janardhan Dwivedy, a senior party leader, confirmed that Sonia Gandhi was unwell. Last year, Gandhi was rushed to a New Delhi hospital for a few hours after she fell ill during a debate in Parliament.

Gandhi is the Italian-born widow of slain former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. After his death, she entered politics reluctantly but led the Congress party to successive election triumphs in 2004 and 2009.

Go back...take the offsprings with you and their spouses if any...the sub continent will prosper and prosper and prosper...no more shouting minority minority on every issue and in the end of the day, doing nothing for the minority and end up dividing the interests of the people in the process...treating everyone as equal is beyond you as people only mean votes for you...for you dividing education admissions and job on cast basis is a solution but not increasing the total number of seats and jobs as that would impede corruption...not even national interest hold a candle against your petty cast politics...go and the entire south asian continent will prosper and prosper and prosper and PROSPER
