New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
The Aam Aadmi Party today alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is being pushed towards a “slow death” inside Tihar jail by denying him insulin and consultations with his doctor.<\/p>\n
Arvind Kejriwal, who has Type-2 diabetes, has been asking for insulin and a video conferencing with his family doctor but his requests are being denied by the jail administration, party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a press conference.<\/p>\n
“I want to say with full responsibility that a conspiracy is underway for the slow death of Arvind Kejriwal,” Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed citing blood sugar readings of the Chief Minister in jail.<\/p>\n
He also slammed the Tihar administration, BJP, Centre and Delhi LG for allegedly denying insulin to Kejriwal and said the Delhi Chief Minister was suffering from diabetes for the last 20-22 years.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the chief minister council Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi said mr Kejriwal has not been administered insulin to control his sugar levels since his arrest, terming it “shocking” and “alarming”.<\/p>\n
The ED had on Thursday claimed before the court that Kejriwal was eating food high in sugar like mangoes and sweets every day, despite having type 2 diabetes, to create grounds for medical bail.<\/p>\n
Mer Kejriwal, however, refuted the ED’s claims by asserting before a court that the food he consumed was in conformity with the diet chart prepared by his doctor.<\/p>\n
“Out of 48 meals sent from home, only three times mangoes were there…,” Mr Singhvi told the court.<\/p>\n
Mr Bharadwaj said Mr Kejriwal was allowed by the court to use a machine in the jail to monitor his daily blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n
“Overall, it was a conspiracy to finish Mr Kejriwal so his multiple organ damage and when he comes out of jail after 2-4 months he goes for treatment of kidney, heart and other organs,” said Saurabh Bharadwaj, who holds the portfolio of health in Delhi government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
