Prime Minister meets BJP leader Arun Shourie at Pune hospital

Pune: Prime Minister Narendra Modi met former Union minister Arun Shourie at a hospital in Pune on Sunday evening. The Prime Minister arrived at the Ruby Hall Clinic, where Shourie is admitted, around 6 pm, hospital sources said. Shourie is undergoing treatment after he fell on December 1 while out on a walk near his bungalow in Lavasa, some 60 kilometres from here. The 78-year-old former BJP leader had suffered a brain injury, including internal bleeding and swelling, doctors had said. Shourie, a minister in the AB Vajpayee government between 199-2004, had, however, become critical of the Modi government.
