Kejriwal has accused
authorities at Tihar prison and Enforcement Directorate (ED) of depriving him
of medication (Insulin) and of lying to a Delhi Court that he was intentionally
eating high sugar foods (mangoes, sweets) to have his blood sugar levels
raised.
The lowest depths to which
court proceedings were allowed to continue – without admonition from the Special
Judge – can be seen from the fact that it was the ED. which was submitting the
details of Kejriwal’s diet. The Special Judge did not object to ED arguing at
length on medical issues. In fact, jail authorities are not supposed to inform
ED about Kejriwal’s diet.
Besides Type II diabetes
patients are prescribed mango (150 Gms) as it has a low glycaemic index. The
Chief Minister could also take sweets too, within the prescribed amount. These
items are not banned for diabetic patients. In fact, the court proceedings have
sent a wrong and un-scientific message to over hundred million diabetics in
India. ED’s statements are at par with Baba Ramdev’s opinion about allopathy – highly
condemnable.
The real issue raised by
the INDIA Bloc parties about the electoral bond scam indulged in by the Modi
government is being sought to be side-tracked. Kejriwal’s court proceedings are
being manipulated through projection of Kejriwal as a cheat who eats mangoes,
sweets in jail to get his blood sugar levels raised; as this may get him bail
on medical grounds. Kejriwal’s blood sugar levels have ranged from 250 mg/dL to
320 mg/dL during the day and he has reportedly 3 spikes. His fasting sugar is
160–200.
Indeed 1400 million
Indians are witnessing a slow motion ‘cold-blooded murder’ of an INDIA Bloc
leader for daring to expose corruption in high places. The old messy way of
physical police encounters in public streets are a passé.
