Today's Video Focus: Scores of doctors across several states have boycotted work for a day to
express solidarity with their protesting colleagues in West Bengal.
Doctors in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur
Thiruvananthapuram and other places staged protests, hampering medical
services in various towns and cities. Doctors at Delhi's All India
Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) were seen wearing helmets and
bandages as they attended to patients. The Bengal doctors have been on a
strike since Tuesday, after a junior doctor was assaulted at a
government-run hospital in Kolkata by the relatives of a patient who
died. The doctors defied Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's ultimatum,
saying they won't get back to work until they get better security.
Mamata Banerjee has accused the BJP and the CPM of engineering the
strike and playing "Hindu-Muslim politics". Urging the doctors to hold
only symbolic protests, Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan, who met
the doctors, blamed Mamata Banerjee and said it is her "threat" to the
doctors in her state that led to the nationwide protests.
