The Hindu Munnani has called for the formation of a judge-led inquiry committee to investigate the incident where a woman was allegedly implanted with a contraceptive device without her consent at the Tirunelveli Government Medical College and Hospital.
The Hindu Munnani, via its official account, issued a statement detailing the events after the woman was admitted to Tirunelveli Government Medical College Hospital on 25 November for childbirth. After delivering her baby, the doctors reportedly inserted a contraceptive device, Cap-T, without informing the woman or her family.
The woman is now in critical condition due to complications arising from the improper implantation of the device. Her family has lodged an official complaint regarding the incident. Hindu Munnani condemned such actions, stating that conducting medical procedures under the guise of government-promoted family planning is illegal and always targets Hindu women.
The organization has demanded that the victim receive high-quality medical treatment and that a judge-led inquiry committee be formed to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Hindu Munnani said, “Mrs. Karthika, who was admitted to Tirunelveli Government Medical College Hospital for delivery last month, who gave birth to her first child was implanted with a contraceptive device by the hospital staff without prior notice or consent. Due to the improper implantation of a contraceptive device, her health has worsened, and she is now being readmitted to the hospital for intensive treatment.
Condemning the ongoing practice of forced sterilization targeting only Hindus, Hindu Munnani State Secretary K. Kutralanathan today led a petition to Tirunelveli Municipal District General Secretary K Brahma nayakam and Tirunelveli Zone Public Health and Welfare Department Joint Director Mrs Latha, demanding appropriate action against the doctors involved.
The victim’s father, Gandhi, along with Hindu Munnani District Executive Committee members Vel Senthil Kumar, Ramesh Kannan, Palayamkottai Zone General Secretary Selvaraj, and Palayamkottai Union Secretary Ganesan, were also present.”
