Baseless allegations, says Veena George on CWC's adoption license

Thiruvananthapuram: Minister for Health Veena George asserted that the state government

had already requested the court to conduct DNA test of the child in connection with the

adoption controversy.

If Anupama is the mother of the child, she should get her child back at the earliest. The

government had made all possible interventions as adoption procedures also were

associated with this case. Protection of the child and assuring the rights of the child are

the major concerns of the government, added the minister.

The news reports claiming the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has no licence are

baseless. At present, the committee's adoption licence is valid till December 2022. The

report of the departmental probe will be submitted on Monday or Tuesday. Then it will

surface whether the allegations raised against CWC are right or not, the minister said.

Veena George also informed that no actions or statements will be raised by the health

department that could discourage Anupama. Meanwhile, the child’s DNA samples were

collected by the officials of Rajiv Gandhi Centre. Anupama’s and Ajith's DNA samples will

be collected by 2 pm on Monday.
