A day after Congress president Sonia Gandhi was admitted to Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in light of COVID-related complications, party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday, 13 June, visited her in the facility.
A hospital source indicated, "Both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi visited the hospital in the afternoon and met with Sonia Gandhi."
This came amid Rahul's visit to the Enforcement Directorate office, where he is being questioned in a money laundering probe linked to the National Herald newspaper.
The leader reached the ED headquarters at 11 in the morning, where he questioned after he completed brief legal proceedings. As per sources, he left for lunch around 2:10 pm, and returned around 4 pm for a second round of interrogations.
In light of the action against the party leader, Congress galvanised its workers, prompting protests in many cities.
