The Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, filed an application in court to be held in Rouse Avenue, requesting insulin injections during judicial custody. At 2 pm, planned for hearing, this move shows how urgent his health issues, particularly his acute diabetes and fluctuating blood-sugar levels, are.
In his plea, Kejriwal requested permission to consult his doctor via daily video conferencing sessions lasting 15 minutes. Additionally, he sought approval for his wife to join these virtual consultations, emphasizing the critical nature of his condition and the necessity for consistent medical supervision.
Sonia Gandhi brought up the wide fluctuations in Kejriwal’s sugar levels noticed since his detention, in credit to his diabetes that was uncontrolled. The health problems stemmed from the neglected diabetes. Now, this campaign comes out based on the AAP claim that Kejriwal was not given the required medical treatment, let alone insulin, which is why his condition has worsened while he is in Tihar jail at present.
The situation escalated further when Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena, intervened, directing the Director-General of Prisons to provide a detailed report on the allegations raised by the AAP. This move followed assertions by Delhi Cabinet Minister Atishi, who suggested a conspiracy to endanger Kejriwal’s life by denying him essential medical care and home-cooked food.
But in the hearings, prison authorities asserted that Kejriwal’s health care can cope with the situation, which is considered apposite. While the urges the government to take this issue seriously, it also demonstrates their determination to tackle Kejriwal’s present health challenges.
Atishi reiterated the AAP concern at a press conference. She alleged that the authorities from the Smart police station had refused to give the insulin and hindered medical consultations via phone or video conference.
The recent progress about Kejriwal’s well being has probably been the attention of a lot of people, which shows the underlying political situation of Delhi.
