Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday wished Congress president "best of health for the future" after she was discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
"Glad to know that Soniaji's health is fine. Wishing her the best of health for the future," Modi tweeted.
However, expressing concern over Gandhi's health, Modi tweeted further that the UPA chairperson should have been taken to hospital in a well-equipped ambulance.
"Concerned that basic medical emergency procedures were not used. Would have been better if wheelchair or stretcher were used in Parliament," he said.
"Considering her health, Soniaji should have been taken to hospital in a well-equipped ambulance. Still, doctors are best judges," he said.
The Congress President, who was admitted to AIIMS hospital after she was taken ill in the Lok Sabha late on Monday night, was discharged after her check-ups were completed.
