In 2008, he was out on new pacemaker at Escorts Heart Institute Delhi. In 2010, his eyes were operated upon at Apollo Hospital in Delhi.
Meanwhile, the party spokesman in a statement said that the octogenarian leader was admitted in SKIMS this morning after complaining of abdominal pain. He was yesterday diagnosed by doctors of the gastroenterology department at super speciality hospital Shareen Bagh Srinagar and was diagnosed to be having the large intestinal infection for which he needed to remain admitted in the hospital.
At SKIMS concerned doctors attended the ailing leader and have put him on treatment and advised some investigations. He is physically weak and frail but stable.
