Anna Hazare discharged, still weak
No more fasts anytime in the future please,” was the advice that Anna Hazare received from the doctors, as he was discharged from Pune’s Sancheti Hospital on Sunday morning.
“He has undertaken many fasts in the past. We have told him not to undertake any more fasts in future. If he does, such fasts will have a severe impact on his health. He can always use other means of protests as part of his movement. As a doctor, I would definitely advise him not undertake any more fasts not just during next one month, but anytime in future,” Dr Parag Sancheti said.
Interacting briefly with journalists before leaving for Ralegan Siddhi, Hazare said, “My health has improved now. But still I have weakness. I will have to take rest for some more days. I will go Ralegan Siddhi and take bed rest. After I get fully fit, I will step out. That is when the doctors advise to me to so”.
Talking separately to mediapersons after Hazare’s discharge, Dr Sancheti, who was one key members of a six-member team of doctors that treated ailing Gandhian at the hospital — reiterated that Hazare would have to take rest for one month. He said that Hazare had been asked to come to the hospital on February 1 for a check-up.
“There is considerable improvement in his health. He has made a good recovery. But he still has a lot of weakness. That’s why he can’t walk much. As far as possible he should not travel much and that too to places where he will be exposed to change in temperatures. He should also not do anything that is strenuous. If he does, there is likelihood of relapse of ailment,” Dr Sancheti said.
Seventy-four-year-old Hazare — who called off his three-day fast in Mumbai a day earlier on December 28 owing to complications arising out of cold, cough and viral fever and returned to Ralegan-Siddhi the following morning — was admitted to Sancheti Hospital on the evening of December 31, after his condition worsened. On his admission at the hospital, Hazare was diagnosed with severe infection in his chest.
Declining to answer a query on his campaigning against the Congress on the Jan Lok Pal bill issue in five Assembly poll-bound States, Hazare said: “I will think about taking forward the movement against corruption once I get fully fit. This is not a fight that will last merely for a month or two. This fight will go on for years. We will have to fight it out. I will talk about all this once I get fully well”.
Asked if he planned to restructure his team especially in the wake of Allahabad High Court imposing a fine of Rs 27 lakh on Shanti Bhushan in Rs 1.34 crore stamp duty evasion case, the Gandhian said: “I have lost touch with the happenings in the world for the last 10 days”.
Replying to a question, Anna said: “I am dependent on my body. I can fight only if my body facilitates me to do so. That’s why I have to regain my health. Fighting against corruption is not new to me. I have been doing it for the last 25 years and will continue to do so. But I will have to wait till I get well to resume my fight”.
