The Congress President, Ms Sonia Gandhi, returned to the capital early this morning from abroad where she underwent surgery a month ago for an undisclosed ailment.

“Congress President returned early today and she is fine,” party general secretary, Mr Janardhan Dwivedi, said.

10 Janpath sources said that she is not meeting anyone.

The 64-year-old Gandhi had left the country on August 2 and had thereafter undergone a surgery.

Immediately after her departure, Congress had made a brief announcement saying that Ms Gandhi had been recently diagnosed with a medical condition and was advised surgery.

The Congress President had handed over the reins of the party to a group of four comprising Mr Rahul Gandhi and senior leaders Mr A.K. Antony, Mr Ahmed Patel and Mr Dwivedi.

Mr Rahul had recently returned to India after attending to his ailing mother.
