NEW DELHI: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday was admitted to the emergency department of AIIMS Delhi, reported news agency PTI citing sources.
The reason for his hospital admission is not known yet.
In April this year, Manmohan Singh retired from Rajya Sabha, with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge praising his long parliamentary career.
Singh, who served as the finance minister in the then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao-led dispensation from 1991-1996, is credited as a key architect of the economic reforms effected by the government that broke the stranglehold of socialist-era policies.
In his political career, Singh has been a member of the Rajya Sabha since 1991, where he was Leader of the Opposition between 1998 and 2004.
Manmohan Singh was sworn in as Prime Minister on 22nd May after the 2004 general elections and took the oath of office for a second term on 22nd May 2009.
