Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met President Pranab Mukherjee at a hospital here where he is recovering after coronary angioplasty and said he was cheerful.
"Met Rashtrapati ji. He was very cheerful. I had gone to ask about his health but instead he talked about issues relating to the Nation," Modi tweeted.
The Prime Minister drove to the Army Research and Referral Hospital straight from the airport on his return from Jammu and enquired from the doctors about the recovery of the 79-year-old President.
After presenting flowers to the President, Modi spent some time with Mukherjee who continues to be in the hospital for the fourth consecutive day after angioplasty last week.
Doctors attending on the President at the Hospital, where a coronary stent was installed in one of Mukherjee's arteries on Saturday to remove a blockage, have recommended that he should remain hospitalised as a precautionary measure, the sources said.
