Media Bol, EP 103:Doctors' Strike And The Display of Enmity Through Cricket
- 3 years ago
On Monday, across India, doctors decided to boycott work for a day in support of their colleagues in West Bengal. Two doctors were attacked and injured by a patient's relatives in West Bengal on 11 June. The doctors are demanding action against the accused and security measures for the doctors.
The strike has left many patients in a lurch and is affecting those with critical conditions since doctors have refused to attend to them.
Urmilesh is discussing how fair the doctors strike is, its impacts on the public and how the media reported the strike and made it a communal agenda with senior journalist Gautam Lahiri , Qurban Ali and Dr Omshankar from BHU.
