New Delhi, September 8 (AGENCIES): Like her departure to America five weeks ago, Sonia Gandhi’s return this morning was a well-kept secret. She landed in Delhi early this morning on a British Airways flight escorted by her daughter, Priyanka. Mrs Gandhi’s son, Rahul, met them at the airport. The news of the Congress President’s arrival was shared in parliament by Meira Kumar, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Mrs Gandhi’s party has so far refused to comment on the nature of the surgery she underwent in the US. Sources say members of the Congress who’ve requested meetings with her have been told she is not available for the next few days. Different media reports said Mrs Gandhi was at the Sloane-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, though this was not confirmed by Congress spokespersons. Mrs Gandhi’s absence has been keenly felt by her party -some senior leaders including the Prime Minister have spoken publicly of missing her.
