Congress leader Rahul Gandhi received a new ordinary passport on May 28, two days after a local court granted its no objection to the issuance of the same, sources said.
They said the passport office had assured Mr. Gandhi in the morning that the passport would be issued to him on May 28 and he got it in the afternoon.
The former Congress president is set to travel to San Francisco in the United States on May 29 evening where he will start his three-city tour. He had applied for an ordinary passport after surrendering the old diplomatic passport issued to him when he was a member of parliament.
