New Delhi [India], June 27 (HBTV): Delhi Water Minister and Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Atishi was discharged from Lok Nayak Hospital on Thursday.   

The minister was brought to the hospital on Tuesday after her health deteriorated during her indefinite hunger strike over the Delhi water crisis and supply of water from Haryana.

Atishi started her indefinite hunger strike, protesting for Haryana to release Delhi's water share on June 22. 

Earlier on Tuesday, the AAP’s Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh said the indefinite strike by Delhi Minister Atishi against the water crisis has been called off but the party will continue to raise the issue in Parliament by mobilising the opposition parties.

Addressing a press conference here today, Singh said, ‘Atishi has been on a hunger strike for five days. Her health was deteriorating. Doctors had been asking her to break the strike. Her health started worsening yesterday night.’       

‘Her sugar level was 43. Her lowest sugar level was 36. Doctors suggested that she had to be admitted immediately; otherwise, she might lose her life. She was admitted to LNJP at 3:30-4 am in the ICU. She is still in the ICU. We are also writing to the prime minister to release Delhi's water. The indefinite hunger strike is being stopped but we will raise our voice in Parliament.’  

The AAP has alleged that the neighboring state of Haryana is supplying 100 million gallons per day less water every day, which has severely affected the lives of approximately 28 lakh people in Delhi, adding to the problem of water shortage. 

The issue of water shortage arose with the high temperatures and heat waves in the national capital.
