Abhishek Banerjee’s Post Claiming ‘Youth Bled to Death at RG Kar Hospital After Not Receiving Treatment’ Is ‘False and Misleading’, Says Doctors’ Outfit; Demands Apology
The Joint Platform of Doctors in West Bengal has called Abhishek Banerjee’s claim that a youth "bled to death at RG Kar Hospital after not receiving treatment" false and misleading. The doctors' group is demanding an apology for the statement, which they say unfairly accuses medical professionals of negligence.
The Joint Platform of Doctors in West Bengal has written a formal protest letter to Abhishek Banerjee, National General Secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), demanding an unconditional apology for a recent statement made on social media. The doctors' association expressed outrage over Banerjee’s post on X (formerly Twitter) from September 6, which they described as "untrue and incendiary." In the post, Banerjee accused doctors of negligence after a boy from Konnagar died from a road accident, bleeding for three hours without medical attention due to an ongoing protest by junior doctors. The letter emphasised that Banerjee's statement has caused unrest within the medical community and could harm public trust in healthcare professionals. The group urged the TMC leader to retract the comments and issue a public apology to avoid further escalation of tensions. So far, Banerjee has not publicly responded to the demands from the doctors' association.
