The leader of India's main opposition Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, has been discharged from hospital where she had surgery to repair a shoulder injury, doctors say. 

Her condition is stable and she has been advised to rest, doctors at Delhi's Ganga Ram Hospital said.
Mrs Gandhi, 69, is the widow of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

She is the head of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, which has mostly governed India since independence in 1947.
Mrs Gandhi was admitted earlier this month after suffering from dehydration, fever and sustaining an injury during a campaign event in the city of Varanasi.
