Doctors say most of his vital body functions are on support system. Though doctors are not using the term ‘clinically dead’ as Gagneja’s heart and brain are functioning, they say the RSS leader is in a very ‘difficult situation ’. Gagneja being taken to be shifted to DMCH, Ludhiana, from a private hospital in Jalandhar earlier this month. He is passing urine with ease but chances (of survival) are bleak.” A team of six-seven doctors is taking care of Gagneja round the clock.
