On Thursday, the 84 -year-old Vajpayee had expressed desire for music, which was allowed even on Friday by the attending doctors.
"Vajapyee, known for his penchant for movies, old film music and poetry, has been listening to these songs on AIR FM Gold radio station. Yesterday, I heard him hearing old film music on FM Radio. It was a positive development and so we let it continue. Some time we put on music for him and some time he asks for it to be played. He is now able to sit and listen to music in the morning and in the evening as well," said Dr. Randeep Guleria, personal physician to the recuperating leader.
According to AIIMS doctors, Vajpayee's ventilatory support has been removed and he is breathing on his own.
