Bengaluru, Sept 19: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy has said that he will be out of action for the next fortnight owing to health complications.

Kumaraswamy, who said that he will be undergoing a valve replacement surgery on September 23, appealed to his supporters and party workers not to get anxious, as it was a routine procedure.

The JD(S) leader who had undergone heart surgery in December 2007, was scheduled for a valve replacement in the next two years.

‘Toll on health’

“However, for the last seven to eight months, I have been coughing incessantly, and this has taken a toll on my heart. The problem aggravated when I was travelling to Israel recently. I couldn’t walk steadily in the Mumbai airport, nor could I climb the stairs in Israel. I consulted some doctors there and they said I needed to undergo surgery immediately, but I put it off,” Kumaraswamy said.

Once in Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy underwent a series of tests and investigations. He is scheduled to be admitted to Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research hospital in the next couple of days.

When contacted, noted cardiologist and director of Jayadeva, Dr C N Manjunath, said that a team of four to five experts including pulmonologists and cardiologists will first screen Kumaraswamy to determine whether the problem is respiratory or cardiac or interconnected.

“If the degree of the valve problem is significant, then we will go for a replacement surgery,” he added.

Davanagere, Apr 8: BJP MLA from Honnali constituency, MP Renukacharya, said that the government should not ignore those who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi and are escaping detection, and it is not wrong if the person is shot.

"Anyone who attended Tablighi meet, is not coming out for medical checkups and is escaping detection. The government should not ignore them. Even if he is shot, it is not wrong. Otherwise, the virus will spread throughout the entire country. In China it started with one person," Renukacharya said on Tuesday.

"We are suffering because someone is not coming for check-up. I request them to come voluntarily to the doctors and District Magistrates. Not all minorities are terrorists and not all of them are anti-nationals," he added.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction for the government to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Tablighi Jamaat with immediate effect.

Over 1,000 coronavirus cases in India are linked to Tablighi Jamaat gathering. Hundreds of people who are related to Tablighi Jamaat have been quarantined.
