Last month, Pawar was taken to hospital after he complained of abdominal pain. According to doctors, cause of the pain was presence of stones in his gall bladder. "One of it had slipped into his bile duct, blocking the flow," said gastroenterologist and endoscopy expert Dr Amit Maydeo.

On March 30, the 80-year-old NCP chief underwent an emergency endoscopy for the removal of a stone from his bile duct, a doctor said. He was discharged from the hospital on April 3 and advised to take rest for seven day by the doctors ahead of Monday's surgery.
