The Indian government has decided to take up
Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar's death in
Ireland after there were protests outside Irish
parliament on Thursday. The Indian ambassador
in Dublin will be meeting Irish authorities on
Friday. Meanwhile, Ireland has ordered two
probes into the incident that took place earlier
this week after doctors refused to abort
Savita's baby despite a miscarriage. India will,
however, not conduct an independent probe of
its own.
Grief stricken parents of Savita have demanded
amendment of Irish abortion laws to prevent
such incidents. Andaneppa Yalagi and Mahadevi
Yalagi, parents of 31-year old Savita, who
have been passing through the trauma of the
sudden loss of their daughter, also appealed to
the Indian Government to prevail upon Ireland
to amend the Irish law banning abortions. "The
Irish law on abortion should be amended to
prevent incidents such as my daughter's death
from occurring in future," they said.
