Kirron Kher ill, getting treatment in Mumbai: Chandigarh BJP chief

Chandigarh, March 31

Following attack from the Congress over MP Kirron Kher’s absence, city BJP chief Arun Sood today said the MP was suffering from multiple myeloma and getting treatment in Mumbai.

Holding a press conference, Sood said she was a diabetic and advised to stay at home. On November 11, she suffered multiple fractures in her left arm. Her PET scan was done at the PGI. “It was found that she was suffering from multiple myeloma. She was airlifted on December 4. She is getting treated at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai. It is a serious disease, thus she had to be present there.”

Sood flayed the Congress for targeting the MP at this juncture. “It is very cheap politics,” he added.

Congress councillor Satish Kainth had yesterday, in a symbolic protest, held a torch in his hand and started looking for the MP in the city. A video was released in this regard. Kainth did so in response to a protest by the BJP members wherein they looked for him in his ward.

Today, Deepa Dubey, city Mahila Congress chief, held a telescope in her hand and searched for Kher. — TNS
