"Concerned to know that the veteran leader Shri Parkash Singh Badal Ji is unwell and admitted to hospital. Had a telephone discussion about his health with Shri Sukhbir Singh Badal Ji. I pray to God for his speedy recovery," Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted.
Badal was admitted to the hospital on Sunday.
In June last year, Badal, a five-time Punjab chief minister, was hospitalised following a complaint of gastritis and bronchial asthma.
In February 2022, he was taken to a private hospital in Mohali for a post-Covid health check-up during which he had undergone cardiac and pulmonary check-ups too.
In January 2022, he was admitted to a hospital in Ludhiana after testing positive for Covid-19.
The SAD patriarch had been advised by doctors to opt for regular precautionary check-ups, especially after contracting Covid-19.
