NEW DELHI: The 76-year-old member of Parliament and senior Congress chief used to be admitted to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital on Wednesday.
"He had suffered a mild brain stroke following which he was brought here. His condition is stable at present, and no surgery is required at the moment," a senior physician on the medical institution said.
Antony have been admitted into the Nursing Ward of the medical institution beneath the care of Dr R S Tonk, the physician added.
The former defence minister and Kerala leader minister used to be admitted to the Centre-run medical institution after he "suffered a minor brain haemorrhage" when he had a fall in his house, a medical institution physician, who did not wish to be named, had said the previous day.
Antony, defence minister within the previous UPA govt, served in that position for seven-and-a-half years, the longest stint to this point for an Indian defence minister.
"A stroke is not that common at his age, but he had some co-morbid conditions, which could have triggered it," the senior physician said, when requested about his condition.
