The hooliganism and vandalism at RG Kar tonight have exceeded all acceptable limits. As a public representative, I just spoke with @CPKolkata , urging him to ensure that every individual responsible for today’s violence is identified, held accountable, and made to face the law within the next 24 hours, regardless of their political affiliations. The demands of the protesting doctors are fair and justified. This is the minimum they should expect from the government. Their safety and security must be prioritized.

[ANI @ANI]

After the brutal crime in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata and the hooliganism unleashed on the protesting students on the eve of Independence Day, the Indian Medical Association declares nationwide withdrawal of services by doctors of modern medicine from 6 am on Saturday i.e 17th of August to 6 am Sunday 18th of August, for 24 hours. All essential services will be maintained. Casualties will be manned. Routine OPDs will not function and elective surgeries will not be conducted. The withdrawal is across all the sectors wherever modern medicine doctors are providing service. IMA requires the sympathy of the nation with the just cause of its doctors: Indian Medical Association (IMA)

Looking at those clips of attacks by goons on the doctors protesting in RG Kar, one can just pray for the safety of students protesting there 🙏🏻🙏🏻

So many SOS call screenshots from various doctors in medical colleges in Kolkata.

Bhai kisi me insaaniyat baaki hai? Bachaa lo unko 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Massive Respect ✊ for Dr Shantanu sir

TMC removes Dr Shantanu Sen as spokesperson because he has spoken out against anti-social activity at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

He had said, “There is a racket that runs in the college and if you don’t oil them then you get targeted and if you oil them, you can do whatever you want. I don’t want to name any particular professors but if you are in their good books then you can even cheat in the examination but if you are targeted no matter how good you are your Hons Will get cancelled.

A day before Saraswati puja my daughter was going to college for pre-puja celebrations. But just because my daughter didn’t get into the racket that’s why she was not allowed to participate. No one talks to her or studies with her.”_

His wife Kakali had also joined the doctors of the healthcare institution in protests. Shantanu Sen’s daughter also studies at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital

I still remember few days back
Some elite liberals were celebrating and applauding students of #BANGLADESH for throwing out sheikh Hasina
Were calling it as students protesting
Warning it might happen in India

The irony is
It actually happened
In the adjoining state only
#WestBengal
Lady CM here in power
Students protesting
Student raped and killed
That dictator CM sent around 500 goons to vandalise protest site
Everything is on record in camera with all video evidence
But those elite flag bearers of so called humanity, voice of oppressed minorities
The so called liberal jamaats
Face of Indian feminism @MahuaMoitra
Is silent
Every one is silent

Outrage indeed is selective subject
Sorry sister your crime was being a doctor
You are not vote bank
Your life your dignity is nothing in this democracy
Because in this game of numbers
You don’t have any place
