Delhi water minister Atishi on Tuesday ended her hunger strike after her health deteriorated and she was hospitalised, said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh.
He also said that he will be writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide the national capital with its rightful share of water from Haryana.
“The issue will also be raised by AAP and its political allies,” Singh said while addressing the media.
Atishi, who began her hunger strike on June 21 amid the Delhi water crisis, was hospitalised early Tuesday after her blood sugar levels dropped. The Arvind Kejriwal-led party informed that the AAP minister was admitted to the emergency ICU at the Lok Nayak Hospital in the national capital.
“Water Minister Atishi's health deteriorates. Her blood sugar level dropped to 43 at midnight and to 36 at 3 am, after which LNJP hospital doctors advised immediate hospitalisation…She has not eaten anything for the last five days and is on an indefinite hunger strike demanding the Haryana government to release Delhi's share of water. She's been admitted to the emergency ICU at LNJP. We pray for her speedy recovery,” the party said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
A while later, the hospital's medical director, Dr Suresh Kumar, informed that while the minister had been in the ICU, her condition was stable. Kumar further added that Atishi was advised hospitalisation on Tuesday evening, however, she had declined.
