#WATCH | Bambolim, Goa: Rudresh Kuttikar, CMO of Goa Medical College and Hospital, who was reprimanded by state health minister Vishwajit Rane, says, "We demand that he (Rane) should apologise publicly, the minister should come to the casualty (department) and apologise. If our demand is not met, we may go on strike. The incident on June 7 was that someone's relative came asking for a B12 injection. It was not an emergency injection...I have seen the video (of the minister apologising), but it is a studio apology. So all doctors demand that the apology should happen where the incident happened. It should happen in front of people. Like the video of my humiliation went viral. The same thing should go viral because I was completely humiliated that day. So I want every person to know about his apology..."

🚨BREAKING: Resident doctors of Goa have given a 48 hour ultimatum to the Health Minister, otherwise GARD will go on indefinite strike!

Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane tried to give a political masterclass at Goa Medical College (GMC) yesterday following the 2 Rs toolkit for cheap political publicity:

1. March into a casualty ward with your camera crew.
2. Bark orders at the doctor on call.
3. Declare yourself the people’s messiah.

But he forgot that doctors have had enough of this political hooliganism!

Resident doctors of Goa have now given a 48 hour ultimatum to the Health Minister, otherwise the poor people of his state will have to suffer if GARD goes on strike!

🚨 For those unaware, here’s what has happened in the last 24 hours:

A doctor at Goa Medical College Casualty has become a scapegoat, all thanks to Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane. In a shocking viral video likely spearheaded by his PR Team, Rane stormed into the hospital camera crew in tow and publicly humiliated and suspended the doctor, simply for following established medical protocol by refusing a routine Vitamin B12 injection in casualty.

To gain cheap publicity, the minister arrogantly shouted at the doctor:
✅“Put your hands down!”
✅“Lower your mask!” (despite ongoing COVID threats)
✅“I’ll suspend you for two years!”

Here’s the reality: Vitamin B12 injections aren’t emergencies. Casualties are meant for urgent, life-threatening cases, not political video-ops.

The moment that video hit social media and gained public criticism instead of applause, Rane’s PR team aka “political chappris started damage control.

A carefully vetted, hypocritical apology followed, pretending concern and empathy. This isn’t compassion. It’s political hooliganism. Such stunts steadily erode public trust in doctors. It’s not just wrong, it’s dangerous and we cannot take this lightly.

The Goa Association of Resident Doctors (GARD) has issued a powerful 48-hour ultimatum demanding:

✅ Immediate revocation of the suspension with fair inquiry.
✅ Public apology by Minister Rane.
✅ Ban on filming inside emergency patient-care areas.
✅ End of VIP culture & political bullying in hospitals.

If demands aren’t met: GARD goes on indefinite strike.

Rane’s actions are calculated abuses of power. Ministers must remember they’re elected to serve, not intimidate.

Hooliganism belongs on the streets, not in hospitals. If Rane has any decency left, he must immediately resign or issue an unconditional apology.

We must stand together as doctors, patients and citizens against this dangerous political circus destroying country’s healthcare system and show these miscreants the place where they actually belong!

[Goa Congress @INCGoa]

Is @visrane truly fit to serve as Goa’s Health Minister? His increasingly erratic and unstable behaviour raises serious concerns about his ability to responsibly oversee the state’s health system.

The shocking incident at Goa Medical College (GMC) where Vishwajit Rane chose to publicly humiliate a senior doctor on camera was a disgraceful display of arrogance and authoritarianism. Doctors, who dedicate their lives to serving humanity, deserve dignity and respect not public shaming.
Such actions are not just unbecoming of a cabinet minister; they are symptoms of deeper psychological instability that must not be ignored. The health and morale of Goa’s medical fraternity are at risk under such leadership.

GPCC President @amitspatkar has demanded that @goacm @DrPramodPSawant should immediately direct Health Minister Vishwajit Rane to undergo a full mental health evaluation at IPHB. We stand in solidarity with the medical community and assure them that Goa Congress will not remain silent while power is misused to demean those who serve the people of Goa.

1. Young aspirants waiting in apprehension with their rank card?
Or
2. JR 1 who are first years for one night half years (longest in history)
Or
3. JR2(? 3) who are tirelessly working during the day n night and finding it hard to keep up with Thesis and Exam Preps.
Or
4. ALL
