From correspondents in Delhi, India, 03:30 PM IST

Former Communist Party of India-Marxist(CPI-M) general secretary Harkishen Singh Surjeet was admitted Saturday in Noida's Metro hospital for the second time in the last two months.

'His condition deteriorated last night. He was not able to pass urine,' Surjeet's daughter-in-law Manjeet told IANS.

The 93-year-old Communist leader was hospitalised in a critical condition May 16 following a cadio-respiratory attack. He was discharged June 13 after his condition stabilised.

'His condition is now serious. We will have to wait till the evening to see what happens,' Manjeet said early Saturday afternoon.
