KOCHI: Former Minister KT Jaleel on Tuesday said that his health is not in a good condition and requested the media not to seek his response regarding his resignation. The former minister explained that he had recently undergone surgery to remove the fat from his neck and that his face was swollen, which is why he announced his resignation via Facebook without seeing the media. He explained that he had been advised to take a rest for two weeks because of the swelling on his face.
"I had undergone surgery at Thrissur Amala Hospital on April 9. The doctors have advised me to take a rest for two weeks as my face was swollen. That is why I announced my resignation through Facebook without seeing the media. We can meet directly after the disease gets completely cured. Until then, I can only post my comments on Facebook," Jaleel said.
