Former Prime Minister and senior Congress leader Dr Manmohan Singh's health condition is stable. Recent updates from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), say that Singh remains in the ICU and has been under the care of a team at Cardiothoracic Centre of the hospital.
Dr Manmohan Singh was admitted to AIIMS last night for observation and investigation after he developed a febrile reaction to a new medication.
