New Delhi:
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah, who is undergoing treatment for deadly swine flu (H1N1 virus) in Delhi's AIIMS, is out of danger and will be discharged in a couple of days, party spokesperson Anil Baluni informed via Twitter on Thursday. "National President of BJP, Shri Amit Shahji is doing well. He will be discharged in a day or two. Thanks everyone for your good wishes!" Baluni wrote on Twitter.
Earlier on Wednesday, Shah had announced that he was diagnosed with deadly flu and being treated for the same. "Mujhe swine flu hua hai, jiska upchar chal raha hai. Ishwar ki kripa, aap sabhi ke prem aur shubhkamnao se shigarh swasth ho jayunga (I have been diagnosed with swine flu for which the treatment is underway. With God’s grace and good wishes from all of you, I will recover soon)," the BJP president had tweeted.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to Shah on phone and wished him a speedy recovery. BJP MPs Meenakshi Lekhi and Mahesh Giri also visited Shah at the AIIMS hospital. "Spoke to Amit Shahji who is undergoing treatment for Swine Flu at AIIMS and inquired about his health. I pray for his speedy recovery," Singh had said.
Several leaders of the saffron party are facing health issues. Union Minister Arun Jaitley, who had undergone a kidney transplant last year, has once again developed serious ailment. Jaitley recently left for the US where he is likely to undergo another surgery.
Besides Jaitley and Shah, another top party leader - national general secretary (organization) Ram Lal, is also suffering from high fever and admitted to Kailash Hospital in Noida on Thursday. Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad was also admitted to the AIIMS Hospital for the treatment of sinus. However, he was discharged after the treatment.
On Wednesday, the official Twitter handle of Congress sent best wishes to senior BJP leaders Amit Shah. "We're sorry to hear senior BJP leaders Shri @AmitShah & Shri @arunjaitley are unwell. We wish them a speedy recovery," Congress tweeted.

Surprisingly some journalists from 'unbiased' media houses have also joined in this hate mongering.
A new low in public discourse, hatred for BJP has stripped their humanity.
In an election season, the health of its senior leaders is now becoming a concern for the BJP. Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj is also not keeping well. Swaraj had even announced last year that she will not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and cited health issues as a reason behind her decision.
National President of @BJP4India, Shri @AmitShah ji is doing well. He will be discharged in a day or two.
