INC President Sonia Gandhi Tests COVID-19 Positive

Ms. Sonia Gandhi, the President of the Indian National Congress (INC,) tested positive for the Wuhan virus, also known as the Novel Coronavirus (COVIFDD-19.)

On the 2nd of June, Thursday, Mr. Randeep Surjewala, the Spokesperson of the INC, said, “Congress president had developed mild fever and COVID symptoms last evening.  On testing, she has been found to be COVID positive.”  In another tweet, Mr. Randeep Surjewala said, “As a large number of Congressmen and women and well-wishers have expressed concern, we want to say that she is fine and recovering. We thank everyone for their good wishes.”

Furthermore, as per the advice of medical experts and doctors, Ms. Sonia Gandhi has isolated herself and is undertaking advised precautions.

Meanwhile, recently, Ms. Sonia Gandhi and Mr. Rahul Gandhi, the former President of the INC and the son of Ms. Sonia Gandhi were summoned to appear before the Enforcement Directorate. 

Notably, the ED registered a case against the Gandhis alleging of a money laundering case, linked to the National Herald newspaper.  In 2012, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) advocate Subramanian Swamy filed a case, claiming that Young Indian Limited (YIL) took over the assets of the defunct print media outlet Associated Journals Limited (AJL) in a “malicious” manner to gain profit and assets worth over Rs. 2,000 crore.  As per the registered case, the YIL took a loan of Rs. 50 lakh to the AJL for starting a newspaper, which was illegal and then took over the press outlet, National Herald, English Newspaper of AJL.

However, recently the ED reopened the case and questioned INC leader Mr. Mallikarjun Kharge.  The ED has summoned Mr. Rahul Gandhi and Ms. Sonia Gandhi on the 8th of June.

Concerned about Ms. Sonia Gandhi’s appearing before the ED, Mr/ Randeep Surjewala said he hoped the Congress chief would recover in the next few days and again get herself tested before her ED summon.
