No Breakthrough : Talks Between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee And Agitating Junior Doctors Fail To Break Deadlock

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the agitating junior doctors can’t keep on insulting her as the medics insist on live-streaming of meeting to end RG Kar impasse.

“We are waiting for so many days for the meeting to end RG Kar impasse. I am requesting you to hold talks, Banerjee said as she interacts with a group of junior doctors outside her residence in Kolkata.

The TMC supremo said that the government cannot allow live streaming as the RG Kar issue is before the court.

“We will video-record the meeting to end RG Kar impasse and will provide it to you after Supreme Court’s nod,” she said.

Earlier, The proposed talks to resolve the impasse between agitating junior doctors and the West Bengal government over the RG Kar issue fell through after protestors, who had agreed to join the meeting based on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s appeal despite relenting on their live-streaming demand, were “unceremoniously” asked to leave the venue.

“When we came here, we had demanded video recording or live-streaming of the talks. We were not allowed. Then the chief minister came out and appealed to us to join the talks, promising that we would receive the minutes of the meeting. We discussed among ourselves and agreed to join the meeting without live-streaming or video recording,” the doctor said.

“When we conveyed this to Minister of State for Health Chandrima Bhattacharya, we were told to leave the venue because it was too late and they had been waiting for us for three hours. We were unceremoniously asked to leave,” the doctor added.

Breaking down in tears before the camera, another doctor said this incident reflected the “true intentions” of the state government.
