Antony had been admitted into the Nursing Ward of the hospital under the care of Dr R S Tonk, the doctor added.
The former Defence Minister and Kerala Chief Minister was admitted to the Centre-run hospital after he “suffered a minor brain haemorrhage” when he had a fall in his house, a hospital doctor, who did not wish to be named, had told PTI.
Social media has emerged with wishes of speedy recovery and good health for Antony.
The 76-year-old Congress leader was the defence minister during the UPA government. Antony had earlier this year made strong statements criticising the BJP government for chasing out 40,000 Rohingyas and compared it to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s acceptance of refugees from Bangladesh in 1971.
