After a brief hospital stay, veteran Indian politician Sharad Pawar was discharged from a Pune hospital on Tuesday, bringing relief to his supporters and the political fraternity. The 83-year-old leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) was admitted to the hospital on August 13 for a chest infection. His successful treatment and subsequent release have been a topic of interest for the media and the public alike.
Pawar's daughter, Supriya Sule, a Member of Parliament and a prominent figure in the NCP, confirmed her father's discharge and provided an update on his health. She stated, "My father is doing well and is now resting at home. The doctors have advised him to take it easy for the next few days." This update comes as a reassurance to the NCP workers and followers who have been eagerly awaiting news of their leader's recovery.
The veteran leader's health has been a concern in recent times, with this being his second hospitalization in less than a year. In June 2023, Pawar underwent a gallbladder surgery at the same hospital, which was followed by a period of recuperation. His recent hospitalization, though brief, sparked concern among his supporters, who consider him a stalwart of Indian politics. With a political career spanning over five decades, Pawar has served in various ministerial positions and is known for his influential role in Maharashtra's politics.
As Pawar rests at home, the NCP and its allies will be closely monitoring his recovery. His health is not just a personal matter but also a significant political concern, given his pivotal role in the state's political landscape. The coming days will be crucial for the veteran leader's recovery, and the nation's political arena will undoubtedly be watching with anticipation.
