Kolkata doctor rape-murder: The outburst came after junior doctors refused to hold talks with the state government over their demand to live stream the meeting.
The Trinamool Congress on Thursday criticised the agitating doctors of West Bengal for refusing to hold talks with the state government because it did not agree to their demand to livestream the meeting.
Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee called the medics “inhumane” and said that they are “unfit to become doctors”. He also urged the West Bengal government to ensure that they are not allowed to appear for their final exams.
The outburst came after the junior doctors, even after reaching the gates of the state secretariat Nabanna, refused to hold talks with the state government unless their demand for live streaming of the meeting to resolve the RG Kar hospital impasse was met.
Doctors across the state have been on strike since August 9 demanding justice for the junior doctor who was raped and murdered in RG Kar Hospital last month.
Mamata Banerjee, who waited for nearly two hours for the agitating doctors to come for the meeting, expressed regret over the junior doctors’ refusal to come for talks. She also offered to resign from her post.
