Seethakka Court Appearance in 2021 Covid Protest Case
A minister named Danasari Seethaka went to court because she protested a long time ago.
She and her friends were asking the government to help poor people pay for Covid treatment.
They wanted the government to include Covid treatment in a special health scheme called Rajiv Arogyasri.
Many people were struggling to pay for treatment, and some even lost their homes or lives.
The court said she needs to come back on December 18.
Danasari Seethaka, the Panchayat Raj Minister, appeared in court for a case related to a 2021 protest.
The protest demanded the inclusion of Covid treatment in the Rajiv Arogyasri scheme to help poor people.
The protest was staged at Indira Park in Hyderabad in April 2021 against the then BRS government.
