    I had predicted this in one of my comments on the Gorakhpur tragedy issue that to get back at the opposition anything can 'happen'. Ethics and morality have no place in politics and politicians in power will abuse power to attain their political goals . Really, really sad and pained for the loss of an innocent life and if it is proved it is for revenge then even more sad.

    Looks something fishy and intentional to tarnish the image of Delhi government, requires detailed investigation to know the truth and cause for death

    Now Aditya can say "so what ? children died in other states also due to lack of oxygen". Foul game can not be ruled out in infant's death.

    UP it's different story. UP government didn't pay dues of oxygen supply companies . BJP had to pay money to buy MLA's but no money to pay for oxygen. Thats the difference between BJP and AAP.

    It doesnt matter which party is in center or in state we mustn't let this thing happen at any cost .

    My Request to all people that every hospital must have a back up system and it must be checked every day and there must be a random inspection from health dept to hospital's if they fail they must pay heavy penalty which must be multiplies with the beds occupied in the ward by 5 lack each.

    I swear then non of the hospital will neglect this critical life saving system.

    And the contractor who supply the oxygen must give a prior 1 month notice to Local police and at the same time it must be published in news paper about stopping oxygen supply in the case of non payment .

    we just can't sit quiet when a new born child die or any one because we healthy people did took care the needy one.

    Lets not play politics over infants' death now. Enough has been said and not much has been done in the last few days. It is sad that these incidents take place in the 21st century, in our 'new India'
