NEW DELHI: BJP veteran and former Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani, was discharged from Delhi’s Apollo Hospital on Thursday.
The 96-year-old was admitted on Wednesday, shortly after being released from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) following a brief stay.
The BJP veteran was evaluated by a team of doctors specialising in urology, cardiology, and geriatric medicine.
Born in Karachi (now in Pakistan) on November 8, 1927, Advani was conferred with the Bharat Ratna by President Draupadi Murmu on March 30, 2024. He served as Assistant Editor for the Organiser in 1960 before fully committing to politics in 1967.
As BJP president from 1986, he supported the VHP’s Ram Temple demand, leading the party until 1990 and again from 1993 to 1998, and 2004 to 2005. Advani resigned from all party posts in 2013 after Narendra Modi was chosen to lead the BJP’s 2014 election campaign.
Advani began his political career with the RSS as a swayamsevak in 1942 and entered parliament in 1970 as a Rajya Sabha member. He contested his first Lok Sabha election in 1989 from New Delhi, defeating Mohini Giri.
