Harjit Singh Bhatti, the former President of the resident doctors’ association (RDA) at AIIMS and the National President of the Progressive Medicos and Scientists Forum (PMSF), took to Twitter to explain the situation, Freepressjournal reports.
“I am writing this as a physician of @BhimArmyChief Chandrashekar Bhai. He is suffering from a disease which requires biweekly phlebotomy from AIIMS, New Delhi under Haematology Department from where he is under treatment from last 1 years,” Bhatti tweeted.
Explaining Azad’s condition, doctor said he requires phlebotomy, which is the process of making a puncture in a vein with a canule to draw blood.
“If not done, then his blood might get thicker which may results into sudden cardiac arrest or stroke,” the doctor added.
“I was told that Chandrashekar bhai repeatedly told Delhi police about his medical condition in Tihar jail but the police authorities are not allowing him to visit AIIMS,” he adds, calling it “inhuman” and a “clear violation of human rights”.
It may be known that Azad was arrested on December 21 in connection with violence in Old Delhi’s Daryaganj, the very next day after his outfit had organised a march from Jama Masjid to Jantar Mantar to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens.
