Click to play videoNew Delhi: Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro made a rare appearance on national television, in a move aimed to dispel speculation that he was dying.
The 81-year-old looked healthier than he did in his last television appearance three months ago, and responded defiantly to questions about his health by saying, “Well, here I am."
Castro has not appeared in public since last July, when he was hospitalised for an emergency surgery, handing over the reins of the country to younger brother Raul Castro's provisional Government.
