NEW DELHI: Sonia Gandhi, the key power broker of Indian politics, is set to return home after undergoing surgery in the United States for an undisclosed condition, a Congress party spokesman told AFP on Tuesday.
Party officials announced on August 4 that Gandhi, 64, had undergone surgery in the US, though they have since declined to release any further information about her health or where she was admitted to hospital.
"Sonia Gandhi will be returning soon but I cannot say whether she is coming tonight or within the week," Congress party spokesman Janardhan Dwivedi said.
"Sonia Gandhi is recovering well post-surgery and will return from the United States this week, accompanied by her daughter Priyanka Vadra," the Press Trust of India news agency said on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.
The Congress party has been criticised in the Indian media for a lack of transparency over Gandhi's operation and her recovery. It insisted her health was a private matter.
