Muktsar, January 7: Finance Minister Manpreet Badal’s father Gurdas Singh Badal has been referred to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research after he complained of breathing problems on Sunday.
Gurdas Singh Badal, the 87-year-old estranged brother of former Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and a former Parliamentarian, was first taken to a private hospital in Bathinda after he complained of feeling uneasy at his residence in Badal village.
His relative Jagjit Singh “Honey Fattanwala” described his health as “stable”.
Gurdas Singh Badal lives a semi-retired life, remaining largely out of the public eye. After he cast his vote during panchayat elections on December 30, he told “I’m taking care of my health and prefer to stay mostly indoors”.
