Union health minister Nadda hospitalised

Union Health Minister JP Nadda was admitted to AIIMS Delhi after he experienced uneasiness, the hospital said on Friday. Nadda underwent a coronary angiography after being admitted on Thursday. He is currently stable and admitted for observation in the cardiology department, it said.

“Union Health Minister JP Nadda was evaluated for uneasiness with tests, including a coronary angiography on the evening of August 13, 2026. He is currently stable and admitted for observation in the Dept of Cardiology, AIIMS,” the hospital said in a statement. Nadda’s hospitalisation came hours after the Monsoon Session of Parliament concluded on Thursday.

The Congress on Thursday condemned the "purification" of the rally venue in Uttarakhand's Haldwani after a public meeting addressed by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and alleged that the incident reflected the "anti-Dalit" mindset of the BJP and RSS.

Kharge, who is the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, also raised the matter in the House and demanded the registration of a case under the Untouchability Act against those involved, even as Chairman C P Radhakrishnan and Union minister J P Nadda condemned the incident.
