'Condition critical', say doctors as farmer leader Dallewal's fast enters 27th day
Jagjit Singh Dallewal's fast-unto-death entered its 27th day on Sunday, doctors termed his health condition «critical». Doctors attending to him at the Khanauri border protest site reiterated that Dallewal is at the risk of cardiac arrest and multi-organ failure.
Dallewal, 70, has been on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border point between Punjab and Haryana since November 26 to press the Centre to accept the agitating farmers' demands, including a legal guarantee for MSP on crops.
A statement issued by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha said following the advice of doctors, the veteran farmer leader did not come on stage on Sunday.
Due to the continuous hunger strike for 27 days, his immunity has become very weak, putting him at the risk of infection, the statement said.
«His hands and feet were cold. Starvation is adversely affecting his nervous system, and vital organs like liver and kidneys,» a doctor who examined Dallewal told reporters at Khanauri border.
