Shashi Tharoor complains of chest pain, hospitalised


New Delhi, Jan 18 (IANS): Shashi Tharoor, minister of state for human resource development, was discharged from a hospital where he was admitted after he complained of chest pain early Saturday, hours after his wife Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in a hotel here.

Tharoor was admitted to the ICU at around 3.30 a.m. Saturday and later shifted to a ward at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

An exhausted looking Tharoor left the hospital in an ambulance at around 2.30 p.m.

AIIMS spokesperson Amit Gupta said the minister's condition was stable, his ECG was normal and hypertension was the cause of the discomfort.

Tharoor was admitted to AIIMS after his wife Sunanda Pushkar was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her room at The Leela Palace hotel in south Delhi Friday.

Doctors said that Pushkar's autopsy was over and the report would be handed over to the sub-divisional magistrate soon.

There was speculation over Tharoor and Pushkar's relationship after the two declared they were "happily married" following public airing of tweets that hinted at an extra-marital relationship and alleged involvement of a Pakistani woman.

    Mrs. Sunanda might have been committed suicide or it may be a natural death or it may be a murder, let the truth come out by proper investigation. But the very serious issue is how the union minister of India can have an affair with Pakistani journalist?. How we can ensure our national security if it is true?. First of all we must investigate Tharoor immediately without any delay.

    For Sanghis anything related to the Congress party is looked at with suspicion. So what's new ?

    Furthermore, according to Sanghis Modi is above all suspicion - an absolute Angel (of .....), no matter what is discovered about him.

    Congress or BJP, certainly something seriously wrong in this case. Also, we have many cases of mysterious deaths of BJPians wives and the mystery will remain as a mystery for ever. Congress & BJP both stinks with their dirty works.
