Kolkata, Jan 17 (Reporter) Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Friday warned that the BJP's doctors' cell would hit the streets if the West Bengal government did not revert its Thursday's suspension order on 12 doctors by Monday. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee placed 12 doctors under suspension after the death of a young mother and a newborn at the Medinipur government hospital allegedly after being administered spurious saline. " I would like to ask why the action was taken on the doctors when the post-mortem report said that septicemia was the reason for the death of the mother at the Medinipur Medical College and Hospital last week," Adhikari told a media conference. Meanwhile, the Bidhannagar Police on Thursday searched the house of junior doctor Asfaqulla Naiya, who is one of the frontal faces of the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front (WBJDF) agitating in the Abahya rape and murder case and currently on the death of young mother at the Medinipur hospital. Police went to Naiya's house at Hardwood Point of Kakdwip in South 24 Parganas and summoned him to appear before the Bidhannagar Police station at 11 AM on January 20 about his alleged use of MS (Degree) though he was not qualified for the same. Dr Naiya said he was not using such a degree at all and only attended 3/4 medical camps where the organisers in their poster may use such a degree. He said he would go to the police station on Monday as summoned by the police. The junior doctors on Friday staged a protest demonstration before the Bidhannagar Police station after the law enforcement agency searched Dr Naiya's house and summoned him. Meanwhile, the CID began probing the alleged negligence on the part of the medics that led to the death of the young mother on January 10. Medinipur Deputy CMO on Thursday filed an FIR in the Kotwali police station under section 105 IBNS and 198 IBNS and visited a private hospital where Dr Dilip Kumar Paul instead of staying at the Medinipur hospital allegedly went for an operation. The Junior doctors alleged that the suspension of 12 doctors, including postgraduate trainees, was an attempt by the government to hide its failure to stop the use of “substandard” Ringer’s lactate. " You can’t save yourself (as Health Minister) by shifting the blame solely to the doctors. The people of Bengal will unearth the actual truth behind the death of the new mother. The West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front will soon call a meeting and announce its movement against the decision to suspend 12 doctors,” said Aniket Mahato, a member of the junior doctors’ front. Meanwhile, a joint meeting of the senior and junior doctors was underway to decide the future course of action...////...
