Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh was hospitalised this evening after he complained of fever and weakness.
He has been admitted to the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences in the national capital.
Hospital officials said his condition is stable, news agency PTI reported. "The eighty-nine year Congress leader was admitted to AIIMS, Delhi for evaluation of fever; his condition is stable," AIIMS officials said.
Earlier this year, the 89-year-old Congress veteran and Rajya Sabha member had been admitted to hospital after he tested positive for Covid-19 during the second wave of infections.
Pranav Jha, AICC secretary in-charge of communications, said Dr Singh is "undergoing routine treatment" and his condition is stable. He also dismissed "unsubstantiated rumours" regarding his health.
