Veteran BJP leader Lal Krishan Advani was re-admitted to the Neuro Department of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on Tuesday, just a month after being discharged. Sources at Apollo Hospital confirm that the 96-year-old leader is stable and currently under observation.

Previously, Advani was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Sarita Vihar on July 3rd, where he was monitored by Dr. Vinit Suri and subsequently discharged on July 4th. His current admission has raised concerns but he remains in stable condition.

Advani, who served as Deputy Prime Minister in the NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee from 2002 to 2004, was awarded the Bharat Ratna by President Droupadi Murmu in March this year. Born on November 8, 1927, in Karachi (now Pakistan), Advani joined the RSS as a Swayamsevak in 1942 and has been a pivotal figure in Indian politics, serving multiple terms as BJP National President. His political journey also saw him as the Home Minister and later Deputy Prime Minister in Vajpayee's cabinet from 1999 to 2004.
