Kolkata: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday made a surprise visit outside the Swasthya Bhawan where junior doctors have been protesting against the rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor of RG Kar Medical College and urged them to return to work.
“I have spent sleepless nights as you have been protesting on the road amid rain. I assure you that I will study your demands, take action if someone is found guilty,” Mamata Banerjee told the protesting doctors.
Banerjee also said that she has to come to meet them as their ‘Didi’ and not as chief minister.
“I understand the purpose of your protest. I was also a students leader. I will give you justice. Seniors (doctors) won’t be able to work without your assistance, I urge you to resume work. I assure you that no action will be take against you,” Banerjee said.
However, the agitating doctors said that they are not ready to compromise on their demands until discussions are held.
