Sharad Pawar hospitalised in Mumbai

NCP (SP) president and Rajya Sabha member Sharad Pawar has been admitted to a private hospital in Mumbai for a health check-up, sources said on Tuesday. The 85-year-old former Union minister was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital two days ago, they said. ''He is in the hospital for a check-up and follow-up. There is nothing serious,'' a source informed. Recently, Pawar took the oath as a Rajya Sabha member while seated in a wheelchair. He had also addressed the media in Delhi. In February this year, the former Maharashtra chief minister was admitted to a hospital in Pune twice - following a chest infection and dehydration.
