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.
