Kolkata: In the face of allegations from a section of junior doctors at RG Kar hospital and other state-run hospitals, the West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front (WBJDF) has countered that their “rivals” had been trying to malign their image and foil the movement for justice.
On Sunday night, the newly formed West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Association (WBJDA) put forward their eight demands to chief secretary Manoj Pant. Shreesh Chakraborty, convener of WBJDA, said: “We informed the CS about the grievous situation that we went through due to politicisation and deviation of the protest from the main issue. We informed him about the WBJDF’s financial irregularities, like fundraising in the name of Abhaya. The amount is around Rs 1.7 crore. We want the administration to audit the huge collection of funds.”
In response to this allegation, WBJDF Debasish Haldar said on Monday: “We already pointed out that the association was formed to thwart our movement. And now they have resorted to making false allegations. Let the administration investigate and find whether our front is linked with any such scam.”
