Rajya Sabha MP Satnam Singh Sandhu, who is also in the same delegation, on Tuesday visited Azad at Royale Hayat Hospital in Kuwait. Azad could not accompany the delegation to its onward journey to Riyadh where it arrived late on Tuesday after visiting Bahrain and Kuwait.

In a post on X, Sandhu said, “Despite being unwell for the past three days, Azad saheb continued to engage with dignitaries and speak powerfully on Pakistan-backed terrorism in J&K and India’s success in Operation Sindoor.”
