MARGAO
The Congress on Wednesday demanded a judicial probe by a retired High Court Judge into all the Covid-related deaths in the State.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) President Girish Chodankar said reports of complete lethargy and negligence at the Goa Medical College, which resulted in the unfortunate death of eminent doctor from Margao Dr Mario Godinho, has once again exposed the ill-preparedness of the defective BJP government in managing the pandemic.
The Health Minister has no moral right to continue in his chair and must resign immediately, demanded Chodankar.
“It is disturbing to note that Dr Godinho was made to sleep on a stretcher for almost six hours. It is horrifying to know that the ventilator provided to him broke down almost four times. Various media reports suggest that one of the nurses in GMC went to give insulin to Dr Godinho when he was not a diabetic patient,” he said and demanded that the Government order an impartial judicial inquiry by a retired High Court Judge in all the deaths which have occurred due to Covid in Goa.
He recalled that the Congress had raised serious questions on the death of party’s two-time MLA late Jitendra Deshprabhu and had asked the Chief Minister to probe his death.
