After ten days of Tamil Nadu former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s demise, doubts are being expressed openly from influential circles over the medication provided to her before admitting in Chennai’s Apollo Hospital. Speculations are spreading all over stating wrong medication led her to the death-bed.
In this regard, a leaked email allegedly sent by NDTV’s Consulting Editor Barkha Dutt to her colleagues asserted that she was on wrong medication for diabetes before she arrived at the hospital.
It may be recalled that before she was admitted in Apollo Hospital on September 22, she was not seen healthy for couple of months. The secrecy being maintained by the hospital authorities and also her close associates like Sasikala about her health condition has been raising suspicions over medication she was received earlier while at home.
It is learnt that the source of email said to be from a conference (call) with “one of the Apollo Reddy sisters”. Four Reddy sisters- Preetha, Suneeta, Sangeetha and Shobana are part of the hospital administration, along with their father Prathap Reddy. A Firstpost report claims that a staff member of NDTV confirmed having received that email form Barkha Dutt.
Leader of Opposition and DMK leader MK Stalin yesterday has urged the Centre to release a detailed report on the treatment provided to the AIADMIK supremo. He has also demanded the Chief Minister to release a white paper on her health condition and also treatment provided.
Meanwhile, Telugu Yuva Sakthi, a Chennai-based NGO filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court demanding a CBI probe into Jayalalithaa’s death. It also asked for the recovery of all medical documents during her stay in Apollo Hospital for more than two months.
Earlier, prominent actress Gautami had written to Prime Minister Nrendra Modi raising questions about the “secrecy” maintained during Jayalalithaa’s treatment. She also questioned why nobody was allowed access to her when she was admitted in the hospital and wanted to know about the people who took all the decisions regarding the treatment.
