Rahul Gandhi gets new passport, will begin trip to USA today

NEW DELHI: Congress member Rahul Gandhi received a new ordinary passport on Sunday, two days after a local court granted its no objection to the issuance of the same, sources said.
The former Congress president is set to travel to San Francisco in the US on Monday evening from where he will start his three-city tour.
Rahul had applied for an ordinary passport after surrendering the old diplomatic passport issued to him when he was a member of Parliament.
Starting with San Francisco where he is scheduled to interact with students at Stanford University, Rahul will also address a press conference and have meetings with lawmakers and thinktanks in Washington DC. He is also likely to address Indian Americans during his week-long tour of the USA.
The former Congresss chief is slated to conclude his trip with a large public gathering in New York on June 4. The interaction would take place at the Javits Center in New York. agencies
