Gorakhpur tragedy: Dr Kafeel Khan slams Yogi Adityanath for telling ‘blatant lies’

Newsroom, Aug 27: Dr Kafeel Khan, who was made a scapegoat in the death of several children reportedly due to lack of oxygen at Gorakhpur Medical College, on Monday hit out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of ''lying'' on the issue for “political gains”.

"It is a blatant lie. The state government has admitted in the court that the shortage of oxygen had led to the death of children. The government has also admitted that shortage of oxygen had been caused owing to delay in payment of bills to the company that supplied the gas," Kafeel, who was in-charge of the neo-natal ward, where the maximum number of deaths took place, said.

He also contested Adityanath's claim that there had been a decline in the death of children from encephalitis. ''The chief minister is lying for political gains'' Kafeel, who is out on bail, said.

Adityanath at a function here had said that the Gorakhpur incident had been blown out of proportion owing to the ''internal politics'' of the doctors.

He had also claimed that there was no shortage of oxygen in the hospital. Around 60 children, including many newborn, died within a period of four days at the medical college-hospital last year in Gorakhpur, Adityanath's hometown.

New Delhi, Jul 27: India’s coronavirus epidemic is now growing at the fastest in the world, increasing 20% over the last week to more than 14 lakh confirmed cases, according to Bloomberg’s Coronavirus Tracker.

Infections in the South Asian nation of 130 crore people have reached 14.3 lakh, including 32,771 deaths, India’s health ministry said, with daily cases close to a record 50,000 on Monday. India is only trailing the US and Brazil now in the number of confirmed infections, but its growth in new cases is the fastest.

Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are among the states where the maximum number of daily cares are being reported. The world’s second-most populous country has been ramping up testing, with 515,472 samples taken on Sunday, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research.

Still, India and Brazil have some of the world’s lowest testing rates, with 11.8 tests and 11.93 tests per 1,000 people respectively, compared to the US with 152.98 tests per 1,000 and Russia with 184.34, according to Our World in Data, a project based at the University of Oxford in the UK.

Ayodhya, Aug 5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday recalled the significance of the path of 'maryada' associated with Lord Ram in the backdrop of the situation created by COVID-19 and emphasised the importance of social distancing and wearing face masks.

He said that the current situation demands 'maryada' should be 'do gaz ki doori, mask hai zaroori' and exhorted everyone to follow it.

In his speech after laying the foundation stone of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the Prime Minister said the temple of Lord Ram will inspire and guide humans for ages to come.

He said that the path of `maryada' followed by Lord Ram is all the more necessary today in the situation created by COVID-19.

"The `maryada' (need) today is do gaj ki doori, mask hai jaroori (keep distance of two yards, wear mask). The Almighty may keep all the citizens healthy and happy, this is my prayer. The blessings of Mother Sita and Shri Ram be always there on the citizens," he said.

The Prime Minister termed the occasion as historic and said that India is starting a glorious chapter when people across the country are excited and emotional to have finally achieved what they had been waiting for centuries.
