NOIDA (U.P): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday called on veteran Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Harkishan Singh Surjeet at a hospital here where he is recuperating after surgery.

Dr. Singh, who was with Mr. Surjeet for about 15 minutes at the Metro Hospital, presented him with a bouquet and enquired about his health. He also enquired from the doctors attending on him about Mr. Surjeet's health status.

The Metro Group of Hospitals chairman, Dr. Purshotam Lal said that on May 9 the 90-year-old communist leader underwent surgery to remove a tumour from his kidney. He was kept in intensive care for two days and shifted to a room on May 11. Dr. Lal said his heart and lungs are functioning normally and he would be discharged in a week's time.

Mr. Surjeet was admitted to a hospital in Bangkok on April 29 after he fell ill due to diarrhoea on his way to Vietnam to attend a Communist Party conclave. He was later brought back here by his son and hospitalised.
