Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad was hospitalised after he fell sick during all-party delegation visit to Kuwait on Tuesday.

Azad is a member of all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda.

The delegation just landed in Saudi Arabia and is yet to visit Algeria as part of its mission to convey India’s firm stance against terrorism and warn the global allies about Pakistan’s link to terrorist activities and defend India’s stance in the conflict between the two countries.

Panda shared an update on chairman of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), and said that he is ‘stable’ and ‘under medical supervision’.

“Halfway into our delegation’s tour, Shri @ghulamnazad has had to be admitted to hospital. He is stable, under medical supervision, and will be undergoing some tests and procedures . His contributions to the meetings in Bahrain and Kuwait were highly impactful, and he is disappointed at being bedridden. We will deeply miss his presence in Saudi Arabia and Algeria," Panda said in a post on X.

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who is also a part of the delegation, praised the former Congress leader saying that despite his ill health, he accepted to be a part of the delegation for the country.

“Despite his ill health, he accepted to be a part of the delegation for the country. Even today, when we met him in the hospital, his eyes were filled with tears. It is difficult to find such politicians in today’s times. We wish him a speedy recovery," he said in a post on X.

Panda in another post informed that delegation accompanying him has reached Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh in its four nation visit in the Gulf. He said that the team accompanying him was given a warm welcome.

The all party delegation led by the BJP MP includes BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, BJP MP Phangnon Konyak, BJP MP Rekha Sharma, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi, BJP MP Satnam Singh Sandhu, Ghulam Nabi Azad and former Indian diplomat Harsh Shringla.

The central government has chosen seven lawmakers to lead delegations across the globe who are presenting India’s evidence and stance on the Pahalgam terror attack to foreign governments and international bodies.

Each delegation comprises Members of Parliament (MPs) from various political parties, prominent political figures, and seasoned diplomats, with the following MPs appointed to lead the seven delegations: Shashi Tharoor (INC), Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU), Baijayant Panda (BJP), Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (DMK), Supriya Sule (NCP), and Shrikant Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena).
