Jaipur: Angry protests took place on the streets of Chomu against the local MLA Bhagwan Sahay who forced minors to donate blood on Rajiv Gandhis birth anniversary. A sycophantic act which left a 15-year-boy in hospital, battling for his life. The Opposition, BJP is now crying for Sahay's blood.

"We demand action against the MLA and everyone else responsible," said former BJP MLA, Chomu, Ramlal Sharma.

Congress MLA Sahay forced approximately 50 school children to take part in his blood donation camp to please his party bosses. The cruel violation of law by its own MLA has hugely embarrassed the ruling party. But the police are yet to register a case.

"We are investigating the matter and if the students were minors, action will be taken against those responsible," said District Magistrate, Jaipur, Kuldeep Ranka.

Meanwhile two days after the blood donation 15-year-old Anil's condition continues to be serious. He is now again at the SMS hospital with no one from the administration giving him any attention.

"He's been referred to SMS hoapital again and no one has come to see us," said Anil's father, Om Prakash.

So far Sahays' party too has been silent about the whole incident.
