Kolkata, Jan 24 (IANS) Former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee has been admitted to a private hospital in south Kolkata with chest infection.

"He is stable. And there is no immediate cause for concern," AMRI hospital Dhakuria medical superintendent Sumon Ghosh told IANS.

The 80-year-old Chatterjee was admitted to a private cabin late Saturday with fever, cough and cold under the treatment of chest specialist Subhasish Ghosh.

"He has been put on antibiotics. He is fully conscious," Ghosh said.

Chatterjee, a former parliamentarian of repute, presided over the Lok Sabha from 2004 to 2009.

He was expelled from the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) in 2008 for presiding over a Lok Sabha trust vote in mid-2008 disregarding a diktat from the party to step down from the speaker's post after it withdrew outside support to the Manmohan Singh-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government over the Indo-US civil nuclear deal.
