Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Vice-president Rahul Gandhi rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital to see Senior Kerala MP E. Ahamed who is admitted there.
Other senior Congress leaders like A.K. Antony, Ghulam Nahi Azad and Ahmed Patel also joined them late Tuesday night.
Many Congress MPs demanded to see Ahamed, but hospital officials did'nt allow this.
Ahamed suffered a heart attack on Tuesday and collapsed in Parliament's Central Hall. He was rushed to RML hospital, where he was put on life support system.
"Ahamed is extremely critical and has been put on life support system. He has been shifted to the Trauma Centre ICU and is currently under close observation of doctors," a senior doctor at the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital told IANS.
