Gorakhpur Tragedy: ‘No faith in govt-appointed panel, let SC judge or all-party MPs group probe’, says Congress

“Families are still in fear. They were not given ambulances to take body of their children and were asked to leave hospital as soon as possible. Some of them were not even given death certificate. We demand an inquiry into the entire incident by a Supreme Court judge or group of all-party Members of Parliament because even families are demanding justice,”said Wasnik.

“On one hand, the Chief Minister is talking about an inquiry that has been ordered into the incident and at the same time, he is giving his verdict that the deaths were not because of oxygen shortage. In such a scenario, how is it possible for an inquiry team to go against the word of the Chief Minister?”

Meanwhile, AICC General Secretary Mohan Prakash said, “Most of the families that we visited today informed us that they were not given facilities there and were asked to pump AMBU (Artificial Manual Breathing Unit) bags for hours. This was a day after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had visited Medical college and reviewed the facilities,” adding, “Now our first question is that what exactly did Chief Minister review on that day?”
