CM supports young doctors’ movement against RG tax scandal
The correspondent, Kolkata Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said that she has not threatened the junior doctors of government hospitals, who have been protesting for 21 days against the incident of rape and murder of a junior woman doctor at RG Kar Hospital. They have been.
Ms Banerjee said that some people have accused her of threatening the protesting junior doctors, which is completely false and is part of a malicious misinformation campaign. She has given her clarification by posting on social media ‘X’.
At a rally organised by the Trinamool Congress Student Council on Wednesday, Ms Banerjee urged the protesting junior doctors to consider returning to work immediately and said that she would keep in mind the careers of the junior doctors who were on strike and agitating for this. Keeping this in mind, she does not want to lodge an FIR against him. The protesting doctors took this comment by the Chief Minister as an “indirect threat” and refused to accept the Chief Minister’s call to return to work.
The Chief Minister said, I have spoken against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). I have spoken against them because with the support of the Central Government, they are endangering democracy in our state and trying to create anarchy. I have raised my voice against it. She has also issued a clarification on the message given to her followers. Ms Banerjee said, I also want to clarify that the phrase (whistle) I used in my speech on Wednesday is a quote from Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. The great saint had said that sometimes it is necessary to raise one’s voice. When crimes and criminal incidents occur, one should raise one’s voice in protest. My speech on that issue was a direct reference to the great Ramakrishna’s statement on Wednesday that claimed the Chief Minister had deviated from his old motto of “not change, but change” in response to alleged insults from the opposition. The parties have been threatened. Speaking at the Trinamool student wing rally, Ms Banerjee said there was a need to update the slogan as per the changing times and circumstances. Referring to a story related to 19th century spiritual saint Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, she said: When you are insulted and defamed through propaganda, it is time to resist and oppose it. Though I never advocate violence, when you are subjected to such despicable attacks, do not tolerate it silently. How you respond is up to you.
