Congress mocks govt health sector as '2G - Gobar & Gaumutra'


New Delhi, June 5 (IANS): In a scathing attack on the government on the state of public health during the coronavirus pandemic, the Congress alleged that the government failed in providing health care to its citizens.

It said that even the "Gujarat Model" has been exposed.

Former Union minister Kapil Sibal said while addressing a press conference that the government health sector is depended on "2G – ‘Gobar' and ‘Gaumutra'."

"Before March 24 whenever there was any discussion on health we only heard about Gobar (cow dung) and Gaumutra (cow urine) their ‘2G' in the health sector is based on Gaumutra and Gobar."

"The alliance partner of NDA says ‘Go Corona'," said Sibal, lashing out at Union minister Ramdas Athwale who was heard chanting ‘Go Corona' in various videos.

"What kind of scientific thought is this? Is this how we will make ourselves self-reliant? By using 2G which is Gobar and Gaumutra for scientific research? That cannot be the kind of public discourse that we are having," added Sibal.

Sibal was questioning the government on the announcement of self reliance package and said this is a new slogan. He alleged that 40 per cent of all active pharmaceutical ingredients are imported from China and we have imported Rs 249 billion worth of such ingredients in 2019.

    Let's not forget Malegaon terror accused Prgaya Singh Takur also claimed the same in records that she has been treated for unknown cancer and later given ticket by the BJP got elected from Bhopal.
    Now the same lady who hated 'Gandhi' and praised 'Godse', got admitted to AIIMS were she is getting treated from eye sight using modern medicines instead of her favorite 'Gau Mutra' treatment.

    India's healthcare allocation in Budget 2020 5.7% lower than last budget. India ranks worse than Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutan among its neighbours but better than Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal.

    India’s rank is also worse than that of many poorer countries in Sub-Saharan Africa such as Sudan (136), Equatorial Guinea (129), Botswana (122) and Namibia (137). Even conflict-ridden Yemen (140) performs better than India.

    As pointed out before, India lags behind its fellow BRICS countries Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa.

    India ranks below Somalia and Afghanistan in neonatal healthcare. The country ranked 154th among 195 countries in providing quality healthcare access to its citizens.

    Not all critics of the opposition parties are religious. If BJP has objection to Mr. Kapil Sibal, then it should release the completed details of Prgaya Singh medical summary.

    I doubt any Hindus would vote for Congress. No wonder BJP is outrightly stating that they do not require minority votes. More over minorities are joining Congress. Its very obvious and alarming. The steady growth of BJP minority morcha is a matter of real concern.

    The statement is not against any community. It's a tight slap to the BJP led government which endorses superstitions like 2G. What the nation needs today is scientific spirit, not 2G, thali, diya or any other nonsense.

    Not commenting on 2G, but Ramdas Athwale need to wear safron lungi since he looks weird in his blue tie for red suit. Also wearing suit doesn't gives him the looks of an educated person since his talks in the parliament are worst than an uneducated person with jungli look.
