Demonetisation woes: Aligarh resident claims got sterilized for money
Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) [India], Nov. 28 (ANI): In a shocking incident, a resident of Aligarh has allegedly got himself sterilized so that his family could come out of its cash crunch post demonetisation of high-value currency notes. Puran Sharma, a daily wager, couldn't afford a daily meal for his family after the demonetisation drive and got sterilized at a nearby camp in return for monetary compensation. "I was very tired because of this demonetisation, wasn't getting money. From somewhere, I heard that monetary compensation is being given for getting sterilized. So, I went there and got it done," said Puran Singh. Aligarh's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Rupendra Goyal, however, narrated a different story altogether. Dr. Goyal said Puran came to the sterilisation camp organised in Khair with his wife. As his wife couldn't be sterilised due to her poor health, the doctors on duty persuaded him to undergo the operation as part of the government's family planning programme. "He came with his wife and was willing to sterilize his wife. But as she is deaf and dumb, we refused to do so," said a doctor. Puran's father claims that many people in the village undergo sterilization to collect money for their meals. (ANI)

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
