Dear IAPians

I am shocked and traumatized by the misinformation being fed to you in various groups. I am not in any groups to even give you my version.

1. You are being told that I am expecting IAP to support me in the defamation case. NO. I AM NOT. I AM PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DEFENDING MYSELF.
I ASKED IAP TO CONDEMN THE NOTICE LIKE HOW OTHER ORGANISATIONS CONDEMNED THE NOTICE SO THAT COMPANIES DO NOT BULLY DOCTORS SPEAKING UP FOR PUBLIC HEALTH.
I HAVE ASKED IAP TO CONDEMN KENVUE'S PUBLIC NOTICE SAYING IT'S SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS WERE PRESENTED AT PEDICON. I ASKED IAP TO DO THIS SO THAT IAP'S RESPECT AND DIGNITY ARE PROTECTED. NO COMPANY WHICH PUTS UP A STALL IN PEDICON AFTER PAYING FOR THE CONFERENCE, SHOULD GO PUBLIC SAYING ITS PRODUCTS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY PRESENTED AT PEDICON!

I ASKED PRESIDENT DR NEELAM MOHAN TO ASK KENVUE TO REBRAND eRZL TO NOT LOOK LIKE ORSL WHICH WAS EQUAL TO ORS FOR ALL THE PARENTS FOR 2 DECADES. INSTEAD, THE COMMITTEE CAME UP WITH A POSITION STATEMENT WITH CLEAR EMPHASIS ON SUCRALOSE BEING SAFE(eRZL USES SUCRALOSE) WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT OTHER ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS AND WITHOUT WARNING THE PARENTS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF DAILY AND LONG TERM CONSUMPTION OF SUCRALOSE.

PLEASE NOTE THAT eRZL IS BEING MARKETED AS THE NEW FORM OF ORSL (THE SUGARY ONE) VIOLATING THE FSSAI ORDER AND IS BEING HANDED OUT AS ORS AT THE GROUND LEVEL. I HAVE PROOFS FOR THAT TOO.

2. You are being told that I earn money through my social media channels.

A BIG LIE. MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL IS NOT A COMMERCIAL CHANNEL AND I HARDLY GET TIME TO POST, ANY WAY. THE ONLY WAY YOU EARN MONEY ON INSTAGRAM IS THROUGH ENDORSEMENTS, WHICH I DO NOT DO.

3. You are being told that I am doing what I am doing, for public attention.
IF YOU ASK YOUR CONSCIENCE, YOU WILL KNOW THAT NO ONE WILL WRITE TO THE AUTHORITIES AND IAP FOR YEARS, FILE A PIL WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES BEING THE RESPONDENTS, AND CALL OUT THE GOVERNMENT, MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES, AND IAP LEADERSHIP ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IF SHE/HE WASN'T PASSIONATE ABOUT THE CASE. PUBLICITY CAN BE GOT IN MANY OTHER WAYS. I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, LEAVE ALONE GOING AGAINST IAP LEADERSHIP.

4. You are being told that I am abusive and make derogatory comments.
I AM NOT ABUSIVE. I HAVE CALLED OUT IAP LEADERSHIP FOR THEIR INDIFFERENCE TO MY MAILS ASKING THEM TO ASK JOHNSON&JOHNSON/KENVUE TO REBRAND ORSL SO AS NOT TO CONFUSE PARENTS, AND TO NOT ALLOW FUNDS FROM THOSE COMPANIES FOR PEDICON TILL THEY DID SO. I STAND BY WHAT I SAID. IF THAT'S ABUSIVE, I LEAVE IT AGAIN TO YOUR CONSCIENCE.

5. You are being told that I have not attended EB meetings in IAP TCB. I DID ATTEND A COUPLE OF MEETINGS. I REALIZED I COULD NOT SURVIVE THERE. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT UP THE TOPIC OF MISBRANDED SUGARY LIQUIDS(MISBRANDED AS ORS), THE TOPIC WOULD BE DIVERTED. ONE OF THEM EVEN HAD GONE ON TO SAY, " IT IS PARENT'S CHOICE". IT WAS SUFFOCATING. I RESIGNED FROM THE MEMBERSHIP IN THE VERY BEGINNING ITSELF.

I am really shocked by the way some of you are trying to run this smear campaign instead of feeling heartened that one of the paediatricians has stood up against the pharma and ensured the children are protected from the sugary drinks misbranded as ORS.
I have written to the IAP, to the authorities, filed a PIL, raised awareness through social media, and I have sent so much evidence(including videos) to the Central Government for the FSSAI order of Oct 14th and 15th to happen. Even in the Delhi High Court arguments, the videos had apparently helped the FSSAI in it's arguments against Kenvue(JNTL).

If you listen to your conscience, you will understand the truth! Attaching instagram link of a video where I called out the Government too (this was blocked after it had gone to millions, and I have reposted it). https://t.co/6tahFW7nwV

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

In May 2018, FSSAI submitted it's first draft in the Parliament saying there would be a RED MARK on the FRONT OF THE LABEL if the pack contained food with high amounts of SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT. In September 2022, because of the pressure from the food industry (inspite of resistance from the consumer organizations), FSSAI submitted another draft favoring the star rating system.

In 2024, 3S and our health society filed a PIL in the Supreme Court saying that FSSAI should make FOPL warning mandatory.

On 10th Feb 2026, Supreme Court directing FSSAI to consider implementing FOPL warning and to get back in 4 weeks. FSSAI asked for some more time. There was a stakeholders' meeting on the 19th of March 2026 where most of the people werefrom the food industry and a few were from the consumers. A couple of representatives from NAPi were there, including @Moveribfan
Anytime, the FSSAI will submit it's final plan now.

We, Indians have to put such tremendous pressure on FSSAI that it won't have a choice but to go for FOPL warning that warns every innocent ignorant Indian as well, about the packed food being high in SALT/SUGAR/SATURATED FAT.

It is time all the influemcers and all the people rise up to the occasion and let FSSAI know what we need, just like how we did when there was a stay order (when Kenvue asked for a stay citing that recalling its 180 crore stock would spoil the name it had built for two decades) on the FSSAI order of October 14th and 15th asking companies not to have ORS in the branding or on the label, and to not use the term ORS for marketing of beverages/foods. ORS is a drug. Only CDSCO can give permission/licence. Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on the label.

Not just adults, even children are facing tremendous risk of obesity related complications with the food industry targeting them through various marketing strategies including celebrity endorsements.

PLEASE SAVE INDIANS! ASK FOR FOPL WARNING! LET THIS MOVEMENT BECOME A TSUNAMI!

Discussions in whatsapp groups of some IAPians about defamation case against me. May be true may not be true.
Majority of the IAPians are supporting the cause(that misleading branding, marketing, labelling, and/or positioing in the pharmacies of electrolyte drinks/energy drinks as the life saving WHO recommended formulaORS shouldn't be allowed, and that IAP shouldn't take funds from these companies for PEDICON or NRP), and thus me, at the ground level, but unfortunately they are neither the president, nor the treasurer, nor the EB members. I have always called out the leadership for
1. Being indifferent to the cause since years inspite of the emails sent, messages sent, and calls made.
2. For allowing funds from these companies for PEDICON and displaying their products
3. For the recent position paper emphasizing on the safety of Sucralose
4. For not condemning the notice issued by Kenvue to suppress a voice fighting for Public health
5. For not condemning the public notice by Kenvue that its
'scientific' products have been presented in PEDICON

I have maintained that IAP is a great organization but the leadership is bowing down to the companies called Johnson&Johnson Pte Ltd and Kenvue.

Anyway, you all understand what's happening.
I request you all to sign the petition so that we are able to share it with the Government. It may work or it may not work, but we need to try.

https://t.co/EzGFbVddDU

If each of you make your family sign the petition and share with your friends asking them to do the same, you can become a part of this great mission to ensure no company cheats parents once again in the name of ORS. Think about the poor ignorant parents atleast! Please! 5 MINS OF YOUR TIME FOR THIS PLS, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE ANYTHING, BUT YOU MAY SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE.

You can see from the 2nd and 3rd videos, how eRZL is being given when the parent asked for ORS. In the 4th video you can see how eRZL is being marketed as ORSL's new version.

When people were threatening me over social media and my family was upset, some times, I felt a little bit scared, maybe. Otherwise I really didn't bother about the threats, but for the first time, I am feeling really scared! Fear is neither a sign of weakness nor does it disqualify me from persisting with my fight for the children, especially, since they cannot fight for themselves! Fear only tells u that the stakes are very high! Humongous! Just praying that India rises up to the occasion, like it did, the last time, to stop these Corporate giants from wreaking havoc again, with the lives of our children!

@geekyranjit Do you see budget(less than 20k INR) compact phones coming into the market now that silicon carbon batteries are available?

[Vinay @I_Vin]

@geekyranjit Is it possible for you to review the minimal phone or unihertz jelly max? Quite different phones as per modern standards

[Vinay @I_Vin]

@geekyranjit What do you think of putting display port in tablets so that we can use them as secondary laptop/desktop displays? Via WiFi its lags a lot

[Vinay @I_Vin]

@geekyranjit Attempt 3 : How costly would it be to have a display port (via type-C) on tablets? We can use them as a secondary display for laptops without requiring a network.

[Vinay @I_Vin]

@geekyranjit Tablets as secondary displays for PCs and Laptops could be of great use. The wifi screen share thing is not smooth right now. How costly would it be to have a display port (via type-C) on tablets?
