Former president Pranab Mukherjee continues to be on a ventilator and his vital parameters are stable, according to doctors attending to him.

A health bulletin issued by the Army Research and Referral Hospital on Friday said, “The condition of the Pranab Mukherjee remains unchanged this morning (14 August 2020). He is under intensive care and continues to be on ventilatory support. His vital parameters are presently stable.”

The condition of the former President remains critical but has not worsened, his daughter Sharmistha Mukherjee said on Friday.

Without getting into medical jargons, whatever I could understand from last two days is that though my dads’ condition continues remain very critical, it hasn’t worsened. There’s little improvement in his eyes’ reaction to light.

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय🙏
