JAMMU, May 31: J&K BJP chief spokesperson, Sunil Sethi here today condemned the statements made by AAP MLA from Doda, Mehraj Malik wherein he used uncouth language against doctors particularly a lady doctor serving in GMC Doda.
In a handout Sethi said that conduct and behaviour of the MLA is unbecoming of the high representative position he holds.
His actions show lack of respect and regard for the noble medical profession, which is dedicated to curing suffering humanity.
The language used by the MLA, now widely circulated in the media, is shameful.
He was expected to exercise discretion and responsibility before uttering words that have caused significant emotional distress not only to the concerned doctor but to society at large, especially the female population.
Sunil Sethi called upon the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Abdul Rahim Rather, to take cognizance of the situation and initiate appropriate action against the MLA.
He welcomed the complaint lodged by the doctor against Mehraj Malik and urged the Police to conduct a thorough investigation, including into his past behaviour.
Sunil Sethi assured the medical fraternity that full protection will be provided to them against such criminal behaviour, regardless of the position of the person involved.
