Reeda Sheikh’s family demands Ghulam Nabi Azad’s resignation

Earlier,Azad had said in Delhi that Reeda might have spread the disease to nearly 85 people of her school,as a person could spread the disease to thousands of people. Schools in Pune were closed after the death of 14- year-old Reeda a student of class 9 in St. Anne’s School. Reeda’s aunt Ayesha questioned how Azad could say that the spread of the virus was minimal,when nearly a lakh people have died of the disease. They also said that no one in the country is expediting measures to control swine flu.

Reeda’s family members demanded an apology in writing by both Azad and Union Health Secretary Naresh Dayal. They also demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation of the entire swine flu crisis management system and also formation of a medical committee to deal with the situation. Family members also said that they would sue the negligent hospitals and doctors who attended to Reeda.
