Amid the widespread doctors' strikes across the country triggered by the rape and murder of a 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, Trinamool Congress MP Arup Chakraborty has issued a stark warning to the medical community, stating, " we will not save you ."
Arup Chakraborty delivered this statement at a public rally in Bankura, West Bengal, on Sunday, The Indian Express reported.
“In the name of the movement, you may go home or go about with your boyfriend. If a patient dies because of your strike and public anger falls on you, we will not save you,” The Indian Express quoted Chakraborty at a rally in West Bengal’s Bankura on August 18.
During a rally in Bankura, West Bengal, on August 18, Arup Chakraborty warned that in the context of ongoing doctor strikes, if a patient were to die as a result of the strikes and public anger were directed at the medical professionals, the authorities would not intervene to protect them. He criticized the doctors' actions, implying they could choose to leave or engage in personal activities but would face no protection from public backlash if their actions led to fatalities.
The doctor’s strike began on August 9 following the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor during her shift at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. With protests escalating and a mob assaulting the protesting doctors on August 14, the Indian Medical Association called a nationwide withdrawal of non-emergency services.
