NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called Ghulam Nabi Azad to check on his health after the senior leader was admitted to a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the ongoing all-party MP delegation tour.
PM Modi wished Azad a speedy recovery, as he recuperates in Kuwait a day after he was hospitalised due to extreme heat.
Earlier on Tuesday, Azad shared an update on his condition:"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!"
BJP MP Baijayant Panda, who is leading the delegation, said Azad’s presence will be missed in the upcoming leg of the tour.
Taking to X, Panda wrote, "Halfway into our delegation's tour, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad has 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."
The all-party delegation led by Panda includes BJP MPs Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak, Rekha Sharma, Satnam Singh Sandhu, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, and former diplomat Harsh Shringla.
The multi-party delegation — consisting of seven groups led by one MP each — was initiated to counter global misinformation and highlight India’s zero-tolerance policy on terrorism.
