New Delhi: It was an irony of sorts that Congress President Sonia Gandhi was not present in Lok Sabha when the Food Security Bill, a project she had championed ardently, was passed by the House on Monday night.
Gandhi, who made her maiden speech in this 15th Lok Sabha during the debate earlier in the day, fell sick and was rushed to the AIIMS with her son and party vice president Rahul Gandhi accompanying her.
“There is nothing to worry. She is completely fine”, said senior Congress leader Janardhan Dwivedi, a close aide of the Gandhi family, as several leaders of the Congress made a beeline to AIIMS to inquire about Sonia’s condition. (PTI)
