The suspension of the licence of Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, which is run by a trust led by Sonia Gandhi, has caused a political controversy. Over 400 employees have started a protest against the decision, while the Samajwadi Party has joined the Congress in their protest. The licence was suspended after a patient died due to alleged negligence. Union Minister Smriti Irani criticized the opposition party for prioritizing profits over the loss of a life.
