Sonia Gandhi discharged from hospital

NEW DELHI—India’s ruling Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi was released from a New Delhi hospital on Sunday after a five-day stay for a chest infection, a hospital official said. The 61-year-old Gandhi had “fully recovered” from her illness, B.K. Roy, chairman of the board of the city’s Sir Ganga Ram hospital, said in a statement. “She is stable and has been advised to continue rest,” Rao said. The Italian-born Gandhi was plunged into the political limelight after her husband, former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi — a member of the family’s third generation to hold political power — was killed by a suicide bomber in 1991.—Agencies
