Jammu, Oct 2: The Gandhi Jayanti celebrations in Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC&H) Jammu on Friday turned into a nightmare for hundreds of patients as OPD was closed for organizing programme, which was more eulogizing ceremony for Health Minister and less a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi as there was no space for a portrait of Father of Nation which were overshadowed by hoardings of BJP in the function.
Paying little heed to the comfort of patients despite the fact that hospitals are generally a silence zone, loudspeakers were used in function organized by Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP), while walls of OPD hall of the GMC were pasted with large hoardings of Health Minister and other party activists. Besides contrary to theme of cleanliness, filth was ruling roost in every nook and corner of GMC.
In connection with Gandhi Jayanti as well as 1st anniversary of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, BJP activists organized a function in the OPD hall of GMC hospital with pomp and show but the reality of the function was contrary to the exposing of garbage strewn all around RN Chopara Nursing Home, near Mortuary Room and inside hospital.
"We usually see that the garbage is spread around the hospital. It is for the function only and grab the headlines in the dailies, it is being shown that how much they are concerned of the sanitation of the hospital, "said, a 36-year-old, Om Parkash, who visited the hospital with ailing son from district Rajouri to get his son checked at OPD of hospital, but due to minister's function, the doctors of OPD were engaged and busy in the function while Om Parkash had to return back home without checkup of his son.
He also said hundreds of other patients too were not examined by the doctor due to the function which was totally politically inspired. It should not have happened in the Government Hospital but who listens to poor, he lamented.
Sources at GMC hospital told Early Times that the BJP activists placed numbers of large hording outside the OPD as well as inside but surprisingly, there was no space for Father of Nation whose Jayanti was being celebrated in the hospital except Minister for Health and BJP activists.
"Earlier, the artists, who were hired for drawing painting of Gandhi Ji and others on wall of hospital in-front of Girls' hostel, were faced with huge troubles as nallah at there had overflown and after great hardship, artists were able to draw painting, sources added.
