Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal had wished the prime minister speedy recovery, officials said.

Parkash Singh Badal had also called up the family of the prime minister on Friday to convey his best wishes.

Congress leaders in Amritsar and a few other places also organized prayers for Manmohan Singh.
