Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen Chandrayangutta legislator and floor leader in the Telangana Legislative Assembly Akbaruddin Owaisi was admitted at the Owaisi Hospital and Research Centre late on Friday night after he complained of severe stomach ache.
Sources close to Mr. Owaisi said that a team of doctors are monitoring his condition. The cause of stomach ache is said to be an infection. The sources also pointed out that Mr. Owaisi has not been keeping well since the attack on his life in 2011 in Barkas when he was shot in the stomach and sustained several dagger injuries.
“Post the attack, he was operated upon twice. The attack badly affected his intestines. There are some blockages in them. While the matter is serious, there is no threat to his life,” the source said.
Apart from doctors from Owaisi Hospital, experts from two other private hospitals are also said to have evaluated his condition and have suggested a further course of medical treatment.
Mr. Owaisi’s brother and Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi flew in from the national capital to be at the Chandrayangutta legislator’s side. He was also visited by family and other MIM leaders and legislators.
