West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday reiterated that \u201coutsiders\u201d were instigating the junior doctors\u2019 movement in the state. The doctors too stuck to their demand for Banerjee\u2019s \u201cunconditional apology\u201d and said that she must go to NRS Hospital to speak with the agitating doctors.<\/p>\n
\u201cOutsiders are instigating the doctors. I had seen some outsiders shouting slogans yesterday,\u201d Banerjee said today recalling her Thursday\u2019s visit to SSKM hospital.<\/p>\n
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Mukul Roy and Dilip Ghosh have both said that the trouble had originated from members of a particular community attacking the doctors.<\/p>\n
Banerjee reacted saying that the BJP was trying to create trouble in the state and communalising the matter. At Kanchrapara in North 24 Parganas, Banerjee accused the BJP of backing those attacking Bengalis and minorities.<\/p>\n
The protesting doctors have set six conditions before the state government \u2013 one of which includes unconditional apology from the state\u2019s chief minister. \u201cShe had threatened the doctors at SSKM yesterday,\u201d an agitating doctor said. Banerjee had said that outsiders were fanning the movement to embarrass the government, and that it was a conspiracy to create disturbances that was being engineered by the BJP and the Left parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
