Common people suffer from exploitation of insurance firms, private hospitals: Raghav Chadha
New Delhi (PTI): Common Indian families are facing immense difficulties due to exploitation by insurance companies and private hospitals, Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said in Parliament on Wednesday.
Chadha posted a video of his speech on microblogging site X.
"Today, in Parliament, that pain every common Indian family has suffered exploitation by insurance companies and private hospitals, was spoken about. Sometimes cashless treatment is denied, sometimes claims are rejected, and sometimes a patient has to chase the insurance company for months for reimbursement. This is exploitation," he said in the post in Hindi.
Health insurance should not be a gamble, it must be a guarantee, his post added.
संसद में आज उस दर्द को उठाया, जो हर आम भारतीय परिवार झेल चुका है -

Insurance Company और Private Hospitals के द्वारा exploitation
कभी Cashless इलाज मना हो जाता है, कभी claims ठुकरा दिए जाते हैं, कभी मरीज़ महीनों अपनी reimbursement के लिए Insurance Company के पीछे दौड़ता है।

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
