Almost half-an-hour after Modi began his address, Pathak, who was standing near the podium from where Chief Minister unfurled the national flag, suddenly fainted on the ground. Following this, some officers standing nearby immediately rushed to him and took him behind the podium.


"I don't know the exact reasons but suddenly I felt fatigue and fell down. Doctors on the venue immediately took care of me after which I am feeling much better and now heading back to Gandhinagar," Pathak told PTI.
