Kolkata: A new platform of junior doctors, the West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Association, with some juniors from R G Kar and other medical colleges, was introduced on Saturday. The members alleged that the probe against them was biased. “We were the first to start the protest. A politically motivated platform took it over to fulfil their own agenda. We were branded as criminals and falsely accused of running threat culture. This apolitical association will continue to seek justice for the victim,” said RG Kar intern Srish Chakraborty.
“No one can be expelled by a politically supported panel in name of threat culture,” a member said. It plans a mass convention soon. — Suman Chakraborti
