Indian National Congress President Sonia Gandhi accompanied by her son Rahul Gandhi, who had gone abroad for a routine medical check-up earlier this month, returned to the country on Tuesday morning.
Confirming their return, an aide of Rahul Gandhi said the two leaders reached Delhi around 7am on Tuesday.
The mother-son duo had left for the United States on September 12, sources close to the family had said. Sonia Gandhi’s medical check-up was overdue and was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they said.
Owing to the trip, both of them missed a major part of the Monsoon Session of Parliament that began on September 14. The session is likely to be curtailed in view of the rising number of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases in the country with several Members of Parliament (MPs) and the Parliament staff having tested positive.
