Sonia Gandhi continues to be in hospital

“She is continuing rest,” he said.

Rao denied reports that the UPA Chairperson was suffering from Pneumonitis, which is an inflammation of lung tissue.

The 61-year-old Gandhi, who was admitted to hospital after she complained of breathing difficulty, underwent a CAT scan on Thursday and it was normal.
