Pune, Feb. 15 -- Nationalist Congress Party (SP) president Sharad Pawar, who was undergoing treatment for a chest infection and breathing difficulty at Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, was discharged on Saturday, hospital authorities said.
Pawar was discharged at noon (about 12:15 pm) and has been advised to take adequate rest for three to four days, after which he may gradually resume his routine work and public engagements. The 85-year-old Rajya Sabha MP was seen leaving the hospital in a wheelchair and waving to supporters and well-wishers gathered outside.
Pawar was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic on February 9 after he was brought from Baramati, where he complained of persistent cough, fatigue and difficulty in breathing. He had developed chest congestion and was advised a five-day course of antibiotics, said the officials.

Within three to four days, he can resume work," Grant said. "It was a mild chest infection, which is common, and it was picked up early and treated early. Dr Abhijit Lodha treated him, and the team helped him recover swiftly," he added.
