Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Mohammad Yasin Malik, who is on an indefinite hunger strike, was admitted today to a hospital after his condition deteriorated.

On the third of his fast unto death, Malik fell unconscious as a team of government doctors examined him and advised him to be hospitalized.

He was "forcibly" taken into in an ambulance to Soura Medical Institute, said a spokesman of JKLF.

The JKLF chief began his 'fast unto death' on the fifth of August to protest against the on-going social unrest in Jammu region.

"It is part of the policy to divide the state along communal lines which we will not allow to succeed," Malik explained, when he began the fast on Tuesday.
