Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 9 (ANI): Congress workers on Tuesday staged a protest outside the Kamla Nehru Hospital, Bhopal, where four children had died on Monday when the children ward's caught fire.
Heavy police deployment was made near the hospital to stop party workers from going inside.
Archana Jaiswal, president of Madhya Pradesh Mahila Congress, told reporters, "Why can't I go inside the hospital? Why can't a woman go inside? I am a woman, a mother, a public representative and president of the Mahila Congress. Why should I not go when a mother is crying and a father is saying that he would not accept a dead child after he was given the wrong body? Do I have a gun in my hand? These officers do not apprehend thieves, but are apprehending me."

Congress leader PC Sharma said that he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the issue.

"It is chaotic. Women are standing looking out for their children and grandchildren who are undergoing treatment. But the government has failed. It is the responsibility of the health department and the Chief Minister. A sitting high court judge should probe the matter," he added.
