Several leaders from across political parties called on Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who was recently discharged from hospital following cardiac-related treatment, and enquired about his health while welcoming him back at Parliament House on Monday.

Dhankar resumed his duties as Chairman of Rajya Sabha this morning as Parliament resumed after a break for Holi festival. Upon his arrival in the House he greeted members with a Namaste.

Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha and Union Minister JP Nadda and other union ministers Kiren Rijiju, L Murugan, Arjun Ram Meghwal and Ashwini Vaishnaw met with the Vice President.

Dhankhar was discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi on March 12 after being admitted to the facility on March 9 following complaints of uneasiness and chest pain.

In a statement, AIIMS said, "After receiving necessary care by the medical team at AIIMS, he made a satisfactory recovery and was discharged on March 12. He has been advised to take adequate rest for the next few days."
