Cough Syrup Deaths: Congress Demands MP Health Minister’s Removal

After 14 child deaths linked to Coldrif cough syrup in Chhindwara, MP Congress chief Jitu Patwari demanded the sacking of Health Minister Rajendra Shukla. He criticised the arrest of a doctor while top officials remain untouched. Tamil Nadu lab reports confirmed the syrup contained toxic diethylene glycol, prompting a state-wide ban and investigation.
