Spiritual leader Swami Paul on Wednesday appealed to the Union government to intervene. Addressing media persons in Jammu, he sought urgent intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah, external affairs minister S Jaishankar and Udhampur MP Dr Jitendra Singh.
“He was sent by the TV news channel to the US for an assignment. Sharma suffered a heart attack there last month and was admitted to Los Angeles General Medical Centre, where he was put on ventilator,” he said.
For the past ten days, Sharma has been battling for his life at the US as his medical insurance is valid in Canada and for any treatment, he has to be airlifted to Canada, he added.
“Ten days have passed and the health condition of Sharma is deteriorating with each passing day. Neither the US government, nor the TVchannel for which he works is providing any satisfactory answers on the condition of his health to the family,” he added.
