Sadhvi Padmavati who has been undertaking a protest fast at Matri Sadan in Haridwar seeking measures for protection of the Ganga river experienced some deterioration in her health.
She was being taken in a private ambulance to Delhi for treatment on Monday when at Bahadrabad, the district administration stopped the ambulance and got Padmavati admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Rishikesh Matri Sadan head Swami Shivanand alleged that doctors and administration were working under the pressure of the chief minister.
He said that yesterday, when Padmavati was told about a team of doctors coming to check her, she became anxious and silent.
She was then taken to the Ramkrishna mission hospital on Monday where the doctors said that her health parameters were fine but she was experiencing mental trauma due to which she was not talking to anybody.
“We then decided to take her to AIIMS in Delhi. However, when we started moving, the authorities stopped us at Bahadrabad.
The officers told us that they would take her by air ambulance to AIIMS in National capital but they admitted her to AIIMS in Rishikesh.
We fear that the authorities will conspire to eliminate her,” alleged Shivanand.
