THE 70 CRORES TAMIFLU SCAM (15th Sept 2009, 1455 Hrs)
Why did the Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad import 70 Crores worth of Tamiflu from GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL ROCHE, when CIPLA (INDIA) has been manufacturing and exporting the drugs to Latin America, Africa and Middle East countries? Even after having imported the drugs, the drugs are still not available in local market, while more than 190 deaths and 6300 infected cases have been recorded all over the nation.
How cleverly and shrewdly the Congress government has diverted the attention of the nation by its Austerity Drive, while more and more people are dying due to this deadly flu. More deaths mean more carelessness as apna Bharat Mahaan ke Bhartiya ko toh aadat si ho jati hai kucch samay ke baad… like there was an uproar for just a few days (a week) after the 26/11 Terrorist Attack… after which Mumbai phir se normal aur callous ban gaya pehle ki tarah… Why we (the public) don’t make the government to make sure appropriate actions are taken, implemented and results achieved within a time frame and corrupt punished? It is we, the public who are to be blamed for all these austerity crap, false promises and clean image of politicians…
When Swine Flu engulfed the nation, very few knew about its medication and what is more surprising is that even the government of India and the Health Minister were quick to import the drugs (Tamiflu) with sheer panic syndrome… Were the government and health ministry so naïve about the situation so as to immediately ask Global Pharmeceutical Roche to export the drugs??? While Indian Pharmaceutical Company CIPLA has been producing and exporting Antiflu (Oseltamivir) and Virenza (Zanamivir) worth crores to governments in Latin America, Africa and Middle East countries since last couple of years…
Cipla Charirman Dr. Yusuf Hamied said earlier that it would be better for the government to answer as to why Indian manufacturing companies were not allowed to distribute locally, while the government spend crores to import the drugs and created unnecessary panic among the citizen all over the nation??? Even at the hour of people dying with the flu, the ministry created panic, shortage and unavailability of the required drugs for its own gain… Swiss Bank zindabad… money will be safe there… Mr. Azad, please explain as to why the ministry took such an action??? Is it a multi-crore scam to import Tamiflu from Roche??? There is definitely something fishy about this whole drama of importing Tamiflu…
CIPLA is a renowned pharmaceutical company in the world scenario with as many as 30 manufacturing units in the country and as many as 7000 valid product registration in 180 countries… so why our desi firm was ignored by the Health Minister?
