Sonia Gandhi Hospitalised for 2nd Time in 8 Days
In a sudden turn of events, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital (SGRH) on Sunday, June 15, due to a stomach-related problem. This is the second time in just eight days that she has been hospitalised. The 74-year-old leader was earlier admitted to Indira Gandhi Medical College in Shimla on June 7 after falling ill.
According to a statement released by the hospital, Sonia Gandhi was taken to the gastro department and is currently under observation. The hospital has not provided any further details about her condition, but sources close to the family have revealed that she is being treated for a stomach-related issue.
This latest hospitalisation has raised concerns about Sonia Gandhi’s health, particularly given the short span of time between her previous admission and this latest development. Her illness has sparked widespread concern among her party members, supporters, and the general public.
Sonia Gandhi’s health has been a subject of concern in recent years, with the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and her son, Rahul Gandhi, often accompanying her to hospitals. In 2011, she underwent surgery for a liver disease and has been undergoing treatment for the condition ever since.
As the longest-serving President of the Indian National Congress, Sonia Gandhi has been a dominant figure in Indian politics for decades. She has played a crucial role in shaping the country’s political landscape, particularly during her tenure as the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government’s Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014.
The hospitalisation of Sonia Gandhi has also sparked speculation about the potential impact on the Congress party’s politics. With the party already facing internal conflicts and leadership issues, her health has added to the challenges faced by the party. Many have expressed concerns about the party’s future, particularly in the wake of Rahul Gandhi’s resignation as the Congress President in May 2019.
While the exact nature of Sonia Gandhi’s illness remains unclear, her hospitalisation has sent shockwaves across the country. As the nation prays for her speedy recovery, it is impossible to ignore the larger implications of this development on the country’s political landscape.
