Jaswant Singh still on 'life support'
"His vital parameters are stable but he continues to be in coma," the Ministry of Defence said in a statement
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paid a visit to the Army (Research and Referral) Hospital to inquire about his health.
The Prime Minister spoke to Jaswant Singh`s family members at the hospital and hoped for his speedy recovery.
Singh was brought to the hospital at around 1 am on Friday. Singh had sustained a head injury as he slipped and fell at his New Delhi residence late Thursday night.
Former Defence Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s cabinet, Singh 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.
He 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).
