'Disease, Cold & Insensitivity': Rahul Gandhi Meets Families Camping On Footpaths, Subways Around AIIMS Delhi
Rahul Gandhi slammed both the central and the Delhi governments after he met several patients and their families camping on the roads, footpaths and subways around AIIMS.
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, attacked the BJP-led central government after he met several patients camping on the roads and footpaths in the national capital around AIIMS Delhi.
Rahul Gandhi on Thursday met several patients and their families camped on the roads, footpaths and subways around AIIMS. He enquired about their problems and grievances.
Sharing a video of Gandhi meeting the families, Congress said, "Waiting for months for treatment, inconvenience and insensitivity of the government - this is the reality of Delhi AIIMS today. The situation is such that people who have come from far-off places bearing the burden of illness of their loved ones are forced to sleep on footpaths and subways in this cold."
"Burden of disease, biting cold, and government insensitivity - today I met patients and their families outside AIIMS who have come from far and wide in search of treatment," Rahul Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on Instagram.
"On their path to get treatment, they are forced to sleep on roads, footpaths and subways - just keeping a flame of hope burning amidst the cold ground, hunger, and inconveniences," Gandhi said. "Both the Central and Delhi governments have completely failed in fulfilling their responsibility towards the public," he said.
Several people who met Gandhi during his visit said that the Congress leader has assured them of help. A patient, Govind Lal told ANI, "He asked me about my stay here. He also asked about the treatment of my daughters."
