Congress President Sonia Gandhi was tonight admitted to AIIMS hospital after she was taken ill in the Lok Sabha where her pet welfare legislation and UPA's ambitious Food Security Bill was in the final stages of adoption.
She spent about five hours, and was discharged from the hospital after her check-up was completed.
"The Congress President has come back, she is all right and her medical check-up has been completed," party General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi told PTI.
A senior doctor at AIIMS said, "She had cough...She had headache. She took medicines after which she felt uneasiness in Parliament, that is why she was here. We put all the test required for such diseases and we found her normal, and she has left in her own car talking to all the doctors, and thanking all of us."
Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "Madam, it looks, had medicines for common cold and headache, as a result of which she had some uneasiness and she had to be brought to AIIMS and now all test have been conducted and she is perfectly fine and has gone home."
67-year-old Sonia left the Lok Sabha while the voting was underway tonight on various amendments moved by the Opposition and was rushed to AIIMS. Ironically, Sonia could not be present in the Lower House when the landmark bill was passed.
