India’s opposition leader Sonia Gandhi hospitalised with COVID-related issues
The leader of India’s main opposition party, Sonia Gandhi, has been admitted to hospital in New Delhi with health issues related to COVID-19, her Congress party said. Italian-born Gandhi, widow of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, is the longest-serving president of the Congress party, which ruled India for decades after its founders led the country to independence from British colonial rule in 1947. Gandhi, 76, is credited with reviving the Congress when it won a surprise victory in legislative elections in 2004.
