PM speaks to family of ailing Jaswant Singh

New Delhi, Aug 8 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday spoke to the family of former Union Minister Jaswant Singh in the morning after he was admitted in a hospital.

The Prime Minister prayed for Singh's speedy recovery.

BJP patriarch L K Advani also visited him in the hospital, said reports.

Veteran politician Jaswant Singh has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Army’s Research and Referral hospital here. He is reportedly critical.

The 76-year-old former BJP leader suffered a head injury as he slipped and fell at his residence around 11 pm on Thursday night.

Singh, the former Defence Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s cabinet, was expelled from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) just ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha election after he decided to contest polls from Barmer in Rajasthan as an independent candidate when the party had decided to field someone else.

Singh had contested from West Bengal’s Darjeeling Lok Sabha seat in 2009 and won with the support of Bimal Gurung-led Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM).
