Delhi Water Minister Atishi ended her indefinite hunger strike on Tuesday after her health deteriorated and she was hospitalised, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh said.
Atishi was on hunger strike since June 21 demanding the Haryana government to increase its water supply to Delhi.
Addressing a press conference in the national capital on Tuesday, Singh said Atishi’s health deteriorated after being on fast for nearly five days. Her blood sugar level dropped to 36 mg/dL and she was admitted to the LNJP Hospital around 3:45 am.
The AAP MP further said that the doctors insisted on her hospitalisation and also warned that her life could be in peril.
She is now admitted to the ICU and tests are being conducted, so the indefinite hunger strike has been stopped, Singh informed.

Singh also said he will be writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide Delhi with its rightful share of water from Haryana.
The issue will also be raised by AAP and its political allies, he added.
In the last three weeks, Delhi’s share in the Yamuna was reduced by Haryana by 100 MGD. However, it has started increasing over the last two days and the shortfall is only 90 MGD now, he said.
