Alleging supply of sub-standard quality of drugs in government hospitals of Delhi, the BJP on Wednesday held a massive protest near the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) headquarters in the national capital. The Bharatiya Janata Party leaders claimed that the government hospitals are being supplied the drugs, which failed quality standard tests.
Delhi BJP president, Virendra Sachdeva, while addressing the supporters at the protest site stated that the drugs supplied in the government hospitals have failed the test again. “Today, another sample report has arrived and that was also found to be fake. The tender for the medicines whose samples were found to be fake had ended,” Sachdeva said.
BJP is spreading blatant lies, alleges AAP
During the demonstration against the AAP-led government in Delhi, the demonstrators raised slogans against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj. Several senior leaders of the BJP were present at the site including, leader of opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, MP Harsh Vardhan, MP Manoj Tiwari and MP Ramesh Bidhuri.
Responding to the allegations of the BJP, the AAP alleged that the saffron party is spreading blatant lies by calling the drug sample as spurious. The party in a statement said, “Basically the test report being shared by BJP itself says that it has got all the genuine ingredients. The only thing which is not of standard is the dissolution of this drug. This in layman terms basically means that a standard drug may dissolve in 30 seconds in the body while this sample may take 40 seconds to dissolve in the body.”
Notably, Lt Governor VK Saxena had recommended a CBI inquiry into the alleged supply of drugs last week. It was being cited that supply of such drugs, which failed quality standard tests, have the potential of endangering lives.
As per official sources, another drug sample taken from the Delhi government hospitals, failed in the quality test by the Regional Drug Testing Laboratory in Chandigarh. Following which a massive political outrage has erupted against the Delhi government.
