Congratulations to the doctors for coming here. It is a pleasure to be able to discuss in detail at this time. They are allowed to speak. We have answered. We tried to give them importance. I started the meeting by paying respect to Abhaya.
Mamata Banerjee said that their (junior doctors) first demand was justice. The CBI is investigating it. The Supreme Court is monitoring it. It is not in our hands. The remaining 4 claims have been discussed. She named three people from the health sector.
The Chief Minister also said that the development of the hospital will be looked into. This too has been discussed. Permission has been given to form a committee. The meeting was fruitful. If it is not so, then why did they (junior doctors) sign, why did we sign. They can go and discuss. But I have appealed to them to return to work.
