Sharad Pawar, founder of the Nationalist Congress Party (SP), was rushed to a hospital again on Sunday after suffering a medical emergency. Pawar’s daughter and MP Supriya Sule confirmed the news on social media.
Sharad Pawar had been suffering from a cough and throat infection for the past few days. After being discharged from the hospital on Saturday, he was resting at his residence, but on Sunday morning, he felt extremely weak and dehydrated. On the advice of doctors, the family decided to immediately admit him to the hospital for further examination and medical attention, according to reports.
"We are admitting Baba to Ruby Hall in Pune for follow-up tests and hydration. We express our gratitude to all the doctors and health workers," Supriya Sule wrote on Instagram.
The 85-year-old leader was admitted to the same hospital last week after complaining of difficulty breathing and a chest infection. Doctors prescribed him a five-day course of antibiotics, and he was discharged on Saturday. Although doctors advised him to rest for three to four days, his condition did not improve, forcing him to be readmitted.
However, doctors at Ruby Hall Clinic said Sharad Pawar's condition was currently stable. His vitals are normal, but he is under close observation due to his age and the infection. The hospital administration has appealed to supporters and activists to refrain from crowding the hospital to avoid inconvenience to other patients.
