Home Minister Amit Shah cancels Hubballi event due to illness

Union Home Minister Amit Shah cancelled his attendance at an official event in Hubballi on Wednesday following an unexpected spell of ill health. The senior cabinet minister was scheduled to inaugurate a college in the Karnataka city but withdrew from the engagement due to his medical condition.

The programme had been lined up as part of Shah's official itinerary in the region. His absence marked a rare cancellation for the senior BJP leader, who maintains an extensive schedule across the country.

The minister's office did not elaborate on the nature of his illness or provide details regarding his recovery timeline. No alternative dates for the inauguration ceremony have been announced yet.

Shah, who holds the portfolio of Union Home Affairs and Cooperation, has been actively engaged in various government programmes and political activities across multiple states in recent weeks.
