Former President Pranab Mukherjee is in a comatose state, but his vital parameters are stable, the Army’s Research and Referral (R&R) Hospital said on Thursday morning.
“Mukherjee’s condition remains unchanged and he continues to be on ventilatory support”, it further said.
The former President was admitted to the R&R hospital after testing positive for the novel Coronavirus. He underwent a brain surgery on Monday after a clot was discovered.
His son Abhijit tweeted on Thursday asked people to stop circulating fake news about Mukherjee’s health. “Speculations & fake news being circulated by reputed Journalists on social media clearly reflects that Media in India has become a factory of Fake News,” he said.
