While speaking to ETimes Kushal Srivastava stated that Sr Srivastava's organs are responding to the treatment.  "Raju ji's health is improving...but the reports of him gaining consciousness are untrue. He has opened his eyes a couple of times and also moved his hands, but that is not enough for us, we want him to recover completely." Kushal said to the portal. He continued, "His health is gradually getting better and the doctors are also saying that recovery will take time. He is still on a ventilator and doctors want him to take him out of it, but there are no such immediate plans. They are waiting for his health to improve more. The progress is not enough for the doctors to remove the life support. His organs are responding well to the treatment."
