Srinagar, Feb. 7 -- "Very concerned to hear about Engineer Rashid having to be shifted to hospital. It is imperative that authorities take proper care & ensure that his condition does not deteriorate while the court arrives at a considered decision on his bail plea," Abdullah posted on his X handle.

He was reacting to reports about the Lok Sabha member being shifted to Ram Manohar Lohia hospital after his health condition deteriorated.

The politician has been on a hunger strike since January 31 for not being allowed to attend Parliament, which is currently in session.
