Kolkata: Despite Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee waiting to meet the delegation of the protesting doctors at the state secretariat Nabanna, the protesting doctors didn’t visit the state secretariat. A protesting doctor stated that they didn’t get any communication from Nabanna but had received an email from the Health Secretary which they feel is an ‘insult’.
“We are always open to discussions but the way the email was written is insulting. We will think of visiting Nabanna if the communication is done in a healthier way. In the mail it was written ‘Respected Sir’. We would like to state that even women are there in the protest. A delegation of only 10 members was allowed. But if we go, we will discuss with all the hospitals and then decide upon the meeting,” said one of the protesting doctors.
On the other hand, Trinamool Congress (TMC) minister Chandrima Bhattacharya said that the Chief Minister had waited in the secretariat till 7:30 pm to meet the delegation of the protesting doctors.
“A mail was sent at 6:10 pm asking a 10 members delegation to visit Nabanna to discuss their issues with the Chief Minister but no reply was given to that mail,” added Bhattacharya.
