Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar experienced a health scare early on Sunday morning. He complained of chest pain around 5 am, leading to his hospitalization.
Hospitalization and Medical Tests
Jakhar was first taken to a government hospital in Sector 6, Panchkula. Medical staff conducted an ECG and other preliminary tests there. The results came back normal, providing initial relief.
Following this, he was transferred to Fortis Hospital in Mohali for further evaluation. At Fortis, doctors performed an angiography and additional necessary tests. The medical team conducted a thorough examination to assess his condition.
Discharge and Health Update
After completing all tests, Sunil Jakhar was discharged from the hospital. All reports indicated normal findings, with no serious issues detected. He returned to his residence in Panchkula later on Sunday.
The Punjab BJP unit issued an official health bulletin regarding the incident. It stated that Jakhar was admitted due to uneasiness in the morning. After comprehensive medical checks, his reports were found to be normal. The bulletin confirmed he is hale and hearty and has safely returned home.
Impact on Political Schedule
Sunil Jakhar had a significant political engagement scheduled for Sunday morning. He was supposed to lead a BJP delegation to meet Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria. The delegation planned to hand over a memorandum expressing the party's concerns.
The memorandum focused on two key issues: media freedom and law and order in Punjab. These are pressing matters for the state BJP unit, which wanted to formally raise them with the governor.
Delegation Proceeds Without Jakhar
In Jakhar's absence, other BJP leaders stepped up to complete the scheduled meeting. The delegation included prominent figures such as:
- Subhash Sharma
- Kewal Singh Dhillon
- Fateh Jung Singh Bajwa
Along with other party members, they met Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and successfully submitted the memorandum. The delegation conveyed the BJP's stance on the specified issues despite their president's unexpected health situation.
The incident highlights how health concerns can abruptly affect political activities. However, the party machinery continued to function, ensuring their agenda moved forward. Jakhar's quick recovery and normal test results brought reassurance to his colleagues and supporters.
