West Bengal CM has invited the agitating doctors to meet her again on Saturday evening in order to end the logjam.
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has invited the protesting junior doctors to meet her again on Saturday in a bid to end their agitation, which has found immense support from their colleagues across the country and crippled the healthcare and medical services in the government and private hospitals.The invitation for talks came after the agitating doctors categorically refused to meet the state’s Chief Minister on Friday night and demanded an unconditional apology from her.They also put up six conditions for withdrawal of their ongoing stir.”We want an unconditional apology from Chief Minister Banerjee for the manner in which she addressed us at the SSKM Hospital on Friday. She should not have said what she said. She should come to the NRS Hospital to meet us,” Dr Arindam Dutta, a spokesperson of the joint forum of junior doctors, said.
