DMK Treasurer and Opposition Leader M K Stalin and PMK founder S Ramadoss made demands in this regard.
"The Tamil Nadu government should release a white paper on the treatment given to former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Since AIIMS doctors had also treated her, the treatment details should be informed to public by the Centre," Stalin said.
"Jayalalithaa was not on an ordinary person but the Chief Minister. Even during her hospitalisation, parties including DMK sought publicising of information on her treatment," he told reporters.
Stalin recalled that in the past when former chief ministers like late C N Annadurai and M G Ramachandran, were hospitalised, the then Health ministers in the respective cabinets used to come up with periodic updates on their health status.
However, no statement was released by the government or the Tamil Nadu Health minister when Jayalalithaa was hospitalised. Only Apollo Hospitals, where she was admitted, issued medical bulletins, he stated.
"There are doubts among many people about the death of the (former) chief minister. To completely dispel them, a white paper should be published as demanded by Ramadoss," he said.
Ramadoss, on his part, said there were "apprehensions" among the public and AIADMK workers over the treatment given to Jayalalithaa as well as her death.
"To dispel them, the state government should immediately release a white paper detailing the medical treatment given to Jayalalithaa," he said.
