Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has been hospitalised in Bengaluru after he complained of fever and leg pain.
Priyank Kharge, Karnataka Minister and son of the Congress chief, made a post on X saying, "Sri Kharge was advised a pacemaker to be implanted and is admitted to the hospital for the planned procedure. He is stable and doing well."
Kharge, 83, was admitted to MS Ramaiah Hospital, Bengaluru, where he is undergoing treatment.
Sources said that the hospitalization is just a precautionary measure, considering his age.
The veteran leader is under observation, and his condition is currently stable.
"He was taken to the hospital on Tuesday as he developed a fever and complained of leg pain. He is fine, nothing to worry about. Doctors are monitoring," a Congress leader speaking to PTI said.
Kharge is scheduled to visit Kohima on October 7 to address a public rally at Naga Solidarity Park. Lok Sabha MP S Supongmeren Jamir, who heads the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee, made the announcement.
Kharge will hold separate meetings with senior members of the Congress Political Affairs Committee, the Pro-Committee, and district-level Congress leaders at the rally.

Last year, Kharge had experienced dizziness while addressing a rally in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua. After the rally said that he would not die anytime soon, at least not before defeating Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "I’m not going to die so soon. I will stay alive until we remove Modi. I will listen to you and fight for you," he said.
Party insiders said that Kharge will resume work once doctors declare him fit. |
