It has taken six years for CM Yogi Adityanath's Gorakhpur to pull back from the worst era of encephalitis deaths. And it all came down to demonstration of priority and political will.
Dr Kafeel Khan, who came to limelight in the 2017 Gorakhpur infant deaths case, was arrested in January for allegedly making inflammatory remarks at AMU during a CAA protest.
Accused of negligence after 63 children suffering from encephalitis died in Gorakhpur hospital in August 2017, Khan says he was made scapegoat for govt failure.
Kashif Jameel was struck thrice. Brother Adeel Khan says two unidentified men on a bike, ambushed Jameel and shot him. Two bullets pierced his body and a third is stuck in his neck.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
