<p>Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Indian National Congress, criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) administration on Wednesday for allowing children who tested positive for HIV, Hepatitis B, and C to get blood transfusions at a hospital in Uttar Pradesh. According to Kharge, the kids were “innocent children suffering the punishment for an unforgivable crime” the saffron party had perpetrated.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-251414″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-unforgivable-crime-of-bjp-claims-kharge-14-children-hiv-positive-in-up-hospital-st-750×500.jpg” alt=”theindiaprint.com unforgivable crime of bjp claims kharge 14 children hiv positive in up hospital st” width=”1392″ height=”928″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-unforgivable-crime-of-bjp-claims-kharge-14-children-hiv-positive-in-up-hospital-st-750×500.jpg 750w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-unforgivable-crime-of-bjp-claims-kharge-14-children-hiv-positive-in-up-hospital-st-1024×683.jpg 1024w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-unforgivable-crime-of-bjp-claims-kharge-14-children-hiv-positive-in-up-hospital-st-768×512.jpg 768w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-unforgivable-crime-of-bjp-claims-kharge-14-children-hiv-positive-in-up-hospital-st-150×100.jpg 150w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-unforgivable-crime-of-bjp-claims-kharge-14-children-hiv-positive-in-up-hospital-st.jpg 1200w” sizes=”(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px” title=”"Unforgivable crime of BJP," claims Kharge, "14 children HIV-positive in UP hospital" 3″></p>
<p>Our healthcare system now treats twice as many illnesses as it used to. 14 thalassemia patients at a government hospital in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, received infected blood.</p>
<p>The children thus acquired risky illnesses including HIV, AIDS, and Hepatitis B and C. Kharge noted on X, “It is regrettable that there has been such flagrant negligence.</p>
<p>14 children getting blood transfusions tested positive for HIV and hepatitis on Monday at the state-run Lala Lajpat Rai (LLR) Hospital in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, in a shocking revelation. Doctors assert that the children now stand a higher risk of contracting another illness on top of the Thalassemia that first necessitated the transfusions.</p>
<p>The 180 thalassemia patients getting blood transfusions at the center include the 14 youngsters, whose ages vary from 6 to 16. HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B were all detected in seven of the affected youngsters.</p>
<p>Several states, including Kannauj, Kanpur City, Dehat, Farrukhabad, Auraiya, and Etawah, are listed as the origins of the children.</p>
<p>The Viral Hepatitis Control Programme requires district-level authorities to determine the infection’s origin. An official has said that the team would look for the HIV and hepatitis infection location.</p>

“Unforgivable crime of BJP,” claims Kharge, “14 children HIV-positive in UP hospital”
