Vajpayee released from AIIMS; fit, advised rest

New Delhi, Aug 26 (UNI) Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was today discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), where he was admitted on Tuesday last after he complained of giddiness.

He was discharged from the AIIMS in the morning today, said a statement from the former PM's office.

''He is in good health and has been advised rest for a couple of days,'' said the statement.

The octogenarian BJP leader had been under constant observation of doctors at the hospital ever since he was admitted on August 21 when he complained of drowsiness and giddiness.

Though his condition remained 'stable' all through his six-day stay, he was not released from hospital as he was ''being kept under investigation'', according to the doctors.

Hospital sources said Mr Vajpayee was released after his review reports came out ''satisfactory'', while adding that he had been advised proper rest for some more days.
