Senior Nepali Congress leader and lawmaker Arjun Narsingh KC has been discharged from HAMS Hospital in Dhumbarahi after receiving treatment for a sudden illness. Doctors have confirmed that his condition is now stable and normal.
KC was rushed to the hospital on Sunday after he fell ill during a question-and-answer session with Prime Minister Balendra Shah in the House of Representatives. The incident briefly interrupted proceedings and drew concern from those present in the chamber.
The discharge comes as a relief for party colleagues and supporters, especially given KC's long-standing role in Nepali politics. A veteran parliamentarian and former professor, he has spent decades active in public life and has held ministerial responsibilities in areas including health, education, and urban development.
News of his recovery has quickly eased worries around his health, with medical staff saying his condition returned to normal after treatment. While no further complications have been reported, the episode served as a reminder of how quickly a routine parliamentary session can turn urgent when a key political figure falls ill.
A veteran political figure
KC is one of the Nepali Congress party's senior leaders and has been active in politics for more than five decades. Over that time, he has remained a familiar figure in both parliamentary work and democratic movements, making his recent illness especially notable for the political community.
His discharge from hospital is not only a health update, but also a reassuring moment for a party and legislature that continue to rely on seasoned voices like his during intense political debates.
