R.G. Kar rape-murder case: About 50 senior doctors from several medical colleges in West Bengal have offered to resign in support of junior doctors who are on hunger strike
The resignation of 50 senior doctors at the R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital should stir our conscience, West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose said on Tuesday (October 8, 2024). He urged the West Bengal Government to apologise to the people.
“If there is a responsible government in West Bengal, make amends and apologise. Remember, a stitch in time can save nine,” Mr. Bose said.
About 50 senior doctors from several medical colleges in the State have offered to resign in support of junior doctors who are on hunger strike.
The Governor, who has been targeting the State Government over the rape and murder of a doctor at R. G. Kar Hospital College said that the “power of people is greater than the people in power.”
“When the Government fails to serve the people, people will serve notice. Those in the corridors of power in West Bengal, don’t you see the notice on the wall, the writing on the wall?” he said. Mr. Bose said that people who are sleeping can be woken up, but not those who are pretending to sleep.
