The Awaken India Movement (AIM) has issued a formal Grievance Petition and Legal Demand Notice questioning the excessive restrictions, including mandatory testing/screening, social distancing mandates, and quarantine measures imposed during the alleged Nipah virus outbreak in West Bengal. The AIM argues that these measures violate fundamental constitutional rights and lack sufficient scientific backing.
The notice demands transparency, accountability, and scientific evidence from Indian health authorities, including the Union Health Ministry, National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), and AIIMS, before enforcing further public health mandates.
Concerns Raised in the Notice
1. Questioning the Basis of Nipah Virus Restrictions
The AIM challenges the justification for imposing lockdowns, mandatory testing, mask mandates, and social distancing based on just two alleged Nipah cases in West Bengal. Citing the Indian Evidence Act (Section 74 & 75) and Epidemic Diseases Act (1897), the notice demands:
- Certified medical reports of the infected individuals.
- Scientific proof of Nipah virus isolation, transmission, and testing accuracy.
- Evidence that masks and lockdowns effectively prevent Nipah spread.
2. Constitutional Violations
The notice highlights multiple breaches of fundamental rights, including:
- Article 21 (Right to Life & Privacy): Forced quarantines and testing invade privacy.
- Article 19 (Freedom of Movement & Work): Lockdowns restrict livelihoods.
- Article 14 (Right to Equality): Selective business closures (e.g., schools vs. pharmacies) are discriminatory.
- Article 21A (Right to Education): School shutdowns disrupt learning.
3. WHO & Government Overreach Allegations
The AIM accuses the World Health Organization (WHO) and Indian health agencies of orchestrating an unnecessary epidemic or pandemic scare without concrete evidence. The notice questions:
- Why Indian traditional medicine (AYUSH) was sidelined in favor of allopathic interventions.
- The legal basis for censorship of media and suppression of dissenting medical opinions.
4. Legal Actions & Non-Compliance Warning
The notice serves as:
- A formal grievance petition under Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (2023).
- A demand for duty performance, urging authorities to revoke unjust restrictions.
- A non-compliance warning: If no response is received within 48 hours, the movement will consider the measures null & void, refusing compliance.
Demands from Authorities
- Scientific Evidence: Certified documents proving Nipah virus existence, transmission, and effectiveness of restrictions.
- Transparency: Release of meeting minutes from health ministries and research bodies on Nipah policies.
- Accountability: Investigation into unconstitutional lockdowns and redress for affected citizens.
- Alternative Healthcare Recognition: Inclusion of Ayurveda, Homeopathy, and other AYUSH systems in virus mitigation strategies.
A Call for Constitutional Upholding
The AIM urges health officials to respect constitutional rights and avoid unwarranted panic. The notice warns that failure to respond will be deemed admission of lack of evidence, justifying civil disobedience against forced health mandates.

The AIM encourages citizens to forward the notice to Indian health officials, demanding scientific validation before further restrictions are imposed.
