New Delhi: The condition of ailing veteran CPI-M leader Harkishan Singh Surjeet continues to be very serious.
Ninety-two-year-old Surjeet was admitted to a hospital in Noida with an acute respiratory problem and had slipped into coma on Saturday.
The Prime Minister and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi met the veteran leader in hospital on Sunday.
"He is in coma and is not responding," said Dr Purushottam Lal, who is monitoring his condition at the Metro Hospital.
"Though his vital organs are stable, his condition is neither better nor worse. He had seizures and was medicated for it and his brain is still functioning," he said.
CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat and politbureau member S Ramachandran Pillai visited the hospital to enquire about the health of the leader. They also met the doctors treating him.
The party said the doctors were hopeful that his condition would improve.
