Doctors protesting against the RG Kar rape and murder case skipped the meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over Live streaming
In a dramatic visual coming from Kolkata, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee can be seen sitting alone in a hall waiting for junior doctors protesting the rape and murder of their colleague at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital last month.
The deadlock between Mamata Banerjee and junior doctors continued on Thursday evening after a delegation of 32 camped outside the state secretariat but refused to enter and meet the Bengal Chief Minister after the authorities did not allowed the live streaming of the discussion.
“We have been waiting for two hours to meet the doctors. We had written to them and they said they would come and that is why we made these arrangements. We wanted to have discussion with open mind. The Chief Secretary, the Director-General of Police, Home Secretary… were all here,” Banerjee said.
Clarifying why the government did not allowed the live streaming of the discussion, the Bengal Chief Minister said, “Since the matter is subjudice, therefore it is not possible to show live. They have not come for two hours, then also we will not take any action against them.”
