Srinagar, May 28 (UNI) Veteran politician and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad was hospitalised in Kuwait after he fell ill during an all-party delegation visit to the Gulf country.
Azad is part of one of the delegations sent by the government to Gulf countries to convey India’s message of zero tolerance against terrorism following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.
BJP MP Baijayant Jay Panda, who is also part of the visiting delegation, confirmed the development of Azad being admitted to hospital on social media platform X.
"Halfway into our delegation's tour, Shri @ghulamnazad had to be admitted to hospital. He is stable, under medical supervision, and will be undergoing some tests and procedures . His contributions to the meetings in Bahrain and Kuwait were highly impactful, and he is disappointed at being bedridden. We will deeply miss his presence in Saudi Arabia and Algeria, " Panda said.
Azad, later posting from his personal handle, reassured the public about his health.
"Blessed to share that despite the extreme heat in Kuwait affecting my health, by God’s grace I’m doing fine and recovering well. All test results are normal. Thank you all for your concern and prayers — it truly means a lot!" Azad posted on X.
