Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has requested the intervention of his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Adityanath in the treatment of jailed journalist Siddique Kappan.
Kappan is "facing severe health problems", "diabetes and heart ailments", Vijayan wrote yesterday. "After getting infected with Covid-19, he has been admitted to KVM Hospital, Mathura. He is reportedly being kept chained to his bed even when his health condition is precarious."
