Indian wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Babita Phogat express concern over Home Minister Amit Shah's health

Indian wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Babita Kumari Phogat have posted messages of concern and solidarity for India's Home Minister Amit Shah's health condition.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been admitted to the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi last night after having issues with his health. He had been discharged from the aforementioned hospital after he recovered from COVID-19 in August.

The 55-year old Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader had tested positive for the virus in early August and had admitted himself into AIIMS after being home-quarantined for a while.

Both Yogeshwar Dutt and Babita Phogat recently entered the world of politics by joining the BJP and expressed support for the former party president.

माननीय गृहमंत्री श्री @AmitShah के अस्वस्थ होने का समाचार सुनकर चिंतित हूँ।आपके साथ देश की जनता और करोड़ों कार्यकर्ताओं की दुआएं साथ है।मैं ईश्वर से प्रार्थना करती हूँ कि आप जल्द ही स्वस्थ हों।🙏🏻🙏🏻

Babita Phogat said:

"I am anxious to hear the news of honorable Home Minister Amit Shah being unwell. You have the blessings of the people of the nation and crores of party workes alongside you. I pray to God that you will get healthy soon!"

Babita Phogat is one of the most successful Indian female wrestlers and has won the gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. She has also won silver medals at the 2010 and 2018 Commonwealth Games editions. Phogat was also a part of India's wrestling contingent at the 2016 Rio Olympics along with her cousin Vinesh Phogat.
