Kolkata. Federation of All India Medical Association is going on a hunger strike across the country on Wednesday against the Kolkata rape-murder case. The association says that they will continue the protest until the trainee doctor gets justice. Doctors of Delhi have also joined this hunger strike.
Mass resignations were given in RG Kar Medical College on Wednesday in support of the strike. 50 senior doctors resigned in support of the junior doctors who were fasting unto death. A senior told that the junior doctors are fasting unto death for a cause. We stand with them and have resigned to send this message.
Actually, junior doctors in Kolkata are on fast unto death since October 5. They are adamant on getting their nine demands met including the removal of the Health Secretary. On the other hand, the Bengal government has said that the government is fulfilling all its promises. Mamta government has appealed to the doctors to end their fast.
