Bharatpur| Indian National Congress Leader and Cabinet Minister Vishvendra Singh on Saturday complained about his own government. In a video message posted on Twitter, Vishvendra Singh, MLA from Deeg-Kumher of Rajasthan, said a pregnant Muslim woman was turned down by a hospital in Bharatpur because of her religion and was asked to travel to Jaipur for treatment.
The woman gave birth to the baby in a corridor where the infant passed away, he further added.
Although, he clarified later that the infant died while the woman gave birth in an ambulance taking her to Jaipur.
“Pregnant Muslim Woman was refused medical attention at the Zenana Hospital in Bharatpur & was told to go to Jaipur given her religion. Local Bharatpur MLA is State Health Minister & this is the condition of the hospital in Bharatpur City. Shameful. The woman delivered in the corridor and the child has passed away,” Singh said in a tweet.

“The jamaat most certainly has been hazardous to the entire country. However, it does not mean that citizens of the Islamic faith are treated the way a pregnant lady was handled by the doctors in Bharatpur Zenana Hospital. The local MLA is also the Minister of State for Health,” he further added.
Calling the incident shameful, he also demanded strict actions against the culprits. It is to be noted that the Congress party is in power in Rajasthan and Dr. Subhash Garg is the local MLA as well as Minister of State for Health.
