The Delhi Water Minister Atishi was on discharged from the LNJP Hospital on Thursday morning, where she was admitted after her health deteriorated during a five day hunger strike against the water scarcity in the city.
The AAP leader was sitting on an indefinite hunger strike demanding that the BJP-ruled Haryana releases water to Delhi. According to the minister, the residents in the national capital are reeling under a water crisis because Haryana is not releasing 100 million gallons per day (MGD) of water. Atishi began her indefinite hunger strike on June 22.
On Tuesday, Atishi was hospitalised after her blood sugar fell from sitting on the hunger strike for five days.
Atishsi was admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) initially and later after her heakth stabalised she was shifted to the normal ward.
According to the report, the minister was discharged from the hospital at 10.30 AM in the morning.
Following her hospitalisation, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in a press release had said that doctors have advised the Delhi Minister to be admitted to a hospital in view of her deteriorating health, but she is fighting for the city's rightful share of water by "risking her life."
"Her blood sugar level dropped to 43 at midnight and to 36 at 3 AM, after which LNJP Hospital doctors advised immediate hospitalization. She has not eaten anything for the last five days and is on an indefinite hunger strike demanding Haryana government to release Delhi's share of water. She's been admitted in the emergency ICU at LNJP. We pray for her speedy recovery," the AAP said in a post on X.
Atishi ended her five day long indefinite fast after being admitted to the hospital on June 25.
