Trinamool Congress MLA Humayun Kabir has courted controversy by threatening to gherao junior doctors of Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital in Berhampore.
Expressing his resentment over the "attitude of some junior doctors of Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital," Kabir, the Bharatpur MLA in Murshidabad district said, "They agitate and protest in airconditioned rooms while the masses suffer on streets."
"I have come to know that an FIR has been lodged against me for my previous comments against junior doctors who were on cease work earlier this month. I am not scared. Let them take out a rally of 1,000 people. If I am sent to jail for my comments, once I am released I will take 10,000 people to gherao the junior doctors," he told reporters on Saturday (September 28, 2024) night.

While Mr. Kabir referred to the junior doctors of Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital, he made the comments in the backdrop of proposed 'cease work' called by junior doctors on September 30 afternoon giving the authorities time to show demonstrative response to their demands for safety at hospitals and police action to thwart attackers.
