JAMMU, Nov 21: The medical fraternity of Jammu, represented by Indian Medical Association (IMA) Jammu Branch, Doctors Association Jammu (DAJ) and Resident Doctors Association (RDA) of Government Medical College Jammu, has condemned the recent terror attack in Delhi, terming it as a direct strike at the nation’s collective conscience, public safety and the very idea of humanity.
The Associations have expressed profound grief over the tragic loss of innocent lives and extended heartfelt solidarity to the families devastated by the November 10 blast near the Red Fort.
The IMA Jammu Branch described the incident as a cowardly and reprehensible act designed to destabilise peace and inflict suffering on the innocent.
Expressing deep concern over reports suggesting the possible involvement of individuals from the medical fraternity, the Association noted that if such allegations are proven, it would amount to “a grave betrayal of the trust reposed in the white coat and an unforgivable departure from the ethics that bind the profession.”
DAJ echoed similar sentiments, calling the incident “a ruthless affront to the Hippocratic Oath and an indelible stigma on anyone who misuses medical knowledge for destructive ends.” The Association demanded that the investigation be pursued with urgency and precision, ensuring that every perpetrator, planner or facilitator is brought before the law without exception.
The RDA of GMC Jammu termed the act “inhuman, indefensible and intended to disrupt national harmony.” The RDA expressed full faith in the security and investigative agencies, affirming that the medical community stands shoulder to shoulder with the nation during this period of grief and determination.
Across all statements, the undertone remained consistent and resolute that there can be no leniency toward individuals who engage in, support, or abet acts of terror.
Each Association pledged complete cooperation with national agencies tasked with uncovering the truth, emphasising that accountability is essential not only for justice but also for restoring the sanctity of the profession.
The collective stance of Jammu’s medical bodies reflects a rare moment of unanimity – a clear declaration that terrorism, in any form and by any hand, is an assault on the principles of civilisation.
A handout stated that at a time when the country mourns, Jammu’s doctors have reaffirmed their commitment to humanity, their duty to protect life and their unwavering support to the institutions safeguarding national security.
