New Delhi: Bhopal Parliamentarian Pragya Singh Thakur or Sadhvi Pragya was on Saturday airlifted to Mumbai for treatment after she complained of a breathing problem. She was admitted to the city’s Kokilaben Hospital, NDTV quoted the MP’s office as saying. This is the second time in less than a month that the BJP leader has been hospitalised. On February 19, she was taken to New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), with similar issues.
