Veteran BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani has been discharged from AIIMS New Delhi. He left for his official residence after being admitted on Wednesday due to a sudden health issue. The 96-year-old BJP leader was conferred the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award, earlier this year, along with four others. Advani served as the Deputy Prime Minister of India during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's tenure.
Earlier, Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda reached out to L.K. Advani's family and AIIMS officials regarding the veteran BJP leader's health condition. Nadda spoke with Advani's son Jayant and daughter Pratibha to get updates on his health. Additionally, he contacted AIIMS Director M. Srinivas for a detailed report.
