Cosmopolitan's take on Big B's
In a grim reminder of the Emergency days, health officials in Madhya Pradesh are adopting unethical
ways to meet birth control targets. Poor and uneducated people in the state are being tricked to undergo
vasectomy (men) and tubectomy (women).
The Chouhan government has set a target to sterilise 10 per cent of the state's population, a health official
said on condition of anonymity. "The state has a population of 7.5 crore. The government has set a target
to conduct 7.5 lakh family planning operations," the official said.
The government denies any such plan. Health minister Mahendra Hardia said: "No family planning
targets had been set for health workers. If cases of forcible family planning come to our notice, the
government will investigate the matter."
But complaints filed by many of the victims belie the minister's claim. One such criminal complaint was
lodged with the police on February 9 by Suman Bai, a 50-year-old widow from Itarsi in Hoshangabad
district.
Suman, from the Dolariya Doodo village, alleged that she was lured by an Asha worker (village health
worker) to get herself registered with the Jan Sewa Runalay in Itarsi hospital and get R5,000 and other
benefits under the state's welfare schemes.
"At the hospital, the authorities pressed my thumb on an authorisation form for the (tubectomy)
operation. I refused to lie down on the operation table. But there was no one to respond to my struggle,"
Suman, who lost her husband six years ago, said.
In Rewa, 17-year-old Kismat Lal of Majhiyaar village was forced to lie on an operation table at the
primary health centre at Semariya and vasectomised on Monday. He was admitted to hospital with high
fever.
District collector S.N. Rupa said he was not aware of the incident, but added: "How can any doctor
operate without consent? The report is totally misleading."

he was promised free anti-rabies vaccine for his two-year-old son Jitendra, who was bitten by a dog a
month ago.
The family planning drive even claimed the life of one Rekha Anand Vasnik in Balaghat.
The Congress has alleged that the government is using inhuman and terror tactics for population control.
"They lure poor and illiterate people without telling them about the implications involved in the process.
In Jabalpur, three persons, who were sterilised last year, were forced to undergo the procedure again
recently. This is a human rights violation of the worst kind," Opposition leader in the assembly Ajay Singh
said.
The National Population Policy had affirmed the government's commitment for "voluntary and informed
choice and consent of citizens" while availing reproductive health care services and had stressed
"continuation of the target-free approach in administering family planning services".
