‘If jawans … ‘: Why TMC compared doctors’ strike in Kolkata rape-murder to Pulwama case | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: As the doctors continue to voice their protests on streets demanding justice for the raped and murdered doctor, Trinamool Congress on Wednesday compared the situation to 2019 Pulwama attack. This was done in another effort to make the striking healthcare professionals return to their jobs.
“With a request to doctors to end their strike, I have a question.There has been no justice in the Pulwama case,” TMC leader Kunal Ghosh said on X.
“So, if jawans desert the borders and start a ‘we want justice’ strike, how would they see it?,” he added.

The Pulwama attack, which occurred on February 14, 2019, resulted in the deaths of 40 personnel an explosive-laden vehicle rammed into a convoy of vehicles transporting CRPF personnel.
This comes as one of the many efforts to make the doctors return to work as the patients across the state are facing hardships in getting medical treatments.
In her Independence Day speech, Bengal chief minister pleaded the doctors saying, “if needed I am ready to touch your feet if that satisfies you, to join work.”
The protests started in response to the rape and murder of a post-graduate doctor of RG Kar College and Hospital on August 9. One arrest has been made in the case so far.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Tuesday rapped the Kolkata police for allowing a 7,000-strong mob to vandalize RG Kar Hospital early on August 15. It further criticised the Bengal government for its negligent approach towards the case.
