West Bengal Governor, C.V. Ananda Bose, has urgently convened a meeting with doctors and healthcare professionals to address the widespread protests.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is organizing statewide protests this Saturday, demanding the death penalty for the accused in the Kolkata rape-murder case.
Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, was arrested in connection with alleged financial misconduct at the institution.
The unprecedented protests in West Bengal this past Sunday night signified more than just solidarity for the tragic rape and murder of a woman doctor from RG Kar Medical College.
The West Bengal government rejects the doctors' demand for a live telecast of the meeting but agrees to allow the discussion to be recorded for transparency.
The arrests followed the release of an audio clip by TMC leader Kunal Ghosh, which purportedly revealed a scheme to target the protesting doctors in an attempt to discredit the Mamata Banerjee-led government.
The West Bengal Junior Doctors Front will resume emergency services on Saturday after ending their strike. However, OPD services will remain suspended for the time being.
The protesting doctors, who had been demanding justice for their colleague and healthcare reforms, met with the Chief Minister to discuss their concerns.
