Amidst the criticism against Kerala Health Minister Veena George over her remark regarding the murder of a young doctor, another CPM woman MLA allegedly hurt doctors at a government hospital in Kerala stating that their improper behaviour was often leading to unfortunate incidents.
MLA of Kongad in Palakkad district K Santhakumari allegedly told doctors at the Palakkad district hospital that it was owing to the indifferent deeds of the doctors that they were facing unfortunate incidents.
Santhakumari had taken her husband with fever to the hospital on Thursday. She alleged that the doctors were not treating her husband properly and she only questioned it.
The MLA as well as doctors have submitted petitions to the higher-ups about the incident. The health department is inquiring into the matter.
Meanwhile, the protest against the health minister for her remark that Dr Vandana Das could have gotten scared by the attack owing to her lack of experience was still continuing. Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said that Dr. Das's father Mohandas had told him that the minister's remark had hurt the family.
The minister however justified the remark stating that she had only quoted the version of the authorities at the taluk hospital where Dr. Das suffered the fatal attack by a person brought by the police on Wednesday.
