ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) Workers launched a protest in Uttarakhand against a Condom brand named after it. Earlier, These condoms were sold by name 'Deluxe'. The name change made them into 'Asha Condoms'.
In the rally conducted to expresses their dissatisfaction, Effigy of the State Health Minister Surinder Singh Negi was burnt at Lansdowne Square in Dehrudun. The workers questioned, 'why didn't the health ministry come up with 'Chief Minister Condom' or 'Health Minister Condom'.
ASHA demanded Government to stop the distribution of 'Asha Condoms' with immediate effect. When contacted by media, Health Minister Negi told such an issue hasn't come to his notice at all.
ASHA Workers believe Government has deliberately renamed the condoms to insult them. They were now ready to go to any extent for their dignity.
