Veteran BJP leader and former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani was discharged from Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi on Wednesday following a period of medical care and investigations, according to sources.
Advani, 97, had been under the care of Dr. Vinit Suri in the ICU since December 12 for medical management and investigations. A hospital statement earlier mentioned his gradual recovery and suggested he might be moved out of the ICU within a day or two.
This follows a history of recent hospital visits. In August, Advani was admitted for a routine check-up, and in July, he was hospitalized briefly. Earlier this year, he was treated at AIIMS in Delhi for an overnight observation.
Born in Karachi on November 8, 1927, Advani has been an active member of public life since joining the RSS as a Swayamsevak in 1942. He served as BJP president in three terms and was conferred with the Bharat Ratna by President Droupadi Murmu in March this year.
