Sonia Gandhi undergoes check-up at Shimla hospital after restlessness
Shimla: Former Congress President Sonia Gandhi underwent an MRI at Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) Hospital in Shimla after she complained of restlessness, said a party leader on Saturday. Gandhi, 78, who is staying at her private residence in Chharabra, Shimla, complained of restlessness in late afternoon and was rushed to hospital immediately, he said. According to a doctor at IGMC, Gandhi's blood pressure was detected to be marginally higher than normal but she was normal and stable. She was taken to hospital for routine check-up due to some minor health issues, said Naresh Chauhan, principal advisor (media) to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. After being informed about Gandhi's medical condition, CM Sukhu cut short his visit to Una and also headed to Shimla, said a leader. Gandhi is expected to end her private visit to the Himachal Pradesh capital on Sunday and return to Delhi, said a Congress leader. Situated in a deodar forest, Gandhi's Shimla house is close to Rashtrapati Niwas 'The Retreat'. A blend of colonial and local architecture has given a unique look to the property that sports grey slate roofs. A few months ago, Gandhi was hospitalised in Delhi for a stomach-related problem. During the February visit to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, she was admitted for one day under the care of a gastroenterology specialist. In September 2022, she visited the US for a medical check-up that was deferred due to the pandemic. During that visit, she was accompanied by her son and party leader Rahul Gandhi. Due to that visit to the US, Sonia Gandhi was forced to miss a substantial part of the Monsoon Session of Parliament in 2022. Just before leaving for the US, Sonia Gandhi had ordered a major organisational structuring in the party. The news about her visit to the US was broken by Congress leader Randeep Surjewala who also tweeted to thank 'everyone for their concern and good wishes'.

Govt running away from special session: TMC's Derek O'Brien
Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien on Wednesday accused the government of "running away" from holding a special session of Parliament on Operation Sindoor that opposition parties have been demanding.

Parliament Monsoon session to begin July 21, first since Pahalgam attack
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday announced that the Monsoon Session of Parliament will begin on July 21 and continue till August 12. The schedule was recommended by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Rijiju told reporters. The Budget Session of Parliament commenced on January 31 and concluded on April 4, with both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die. This marked the end of the first session of Parliament for 2025. After a break of over three months, both Houses are set to reconvene at 11:00 am on July 21. Monsoon Session: Key issues likely to be discussed This will be the first time Parliament meets since the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, and the subsequent Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Opposition parties from the INDIA bloc had demanded a special session in the aftermath of these events, arguing that Parliament needed to deliberate on the national security situation. Among the topics likely to be raised are the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor, US President Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and civilian deaths from cross-border shelling. Impeachment motion expected during session An impeachment motion against former Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma is also expected to be moved during the session. The judge is facing serious allegations of corruption following the recovery of a substantial amount of cash from his official residence in Delhi. The motion, if introduced, would mark a rare parliamentary move to impeach a sitting or former member of the judiciary.
