JAMMU, Mar 1: Reacting sharply over registration of counter FIR against them by an attendant who had been booked for attempt to murder for mercilessly beating a doctor on duty on February 27, Resident Doctors’ Association, GMCH and Associated Hospitals has termed the allegations filed in the FIR against its head as baseless and threatened to go on strike if the allegations were not removed.
In a statement, organizing secretary of RDA, Dr Zulfikar Ali said after being booked for attempt to murder for mercilessly thrashing a doctor on duty the so called protector of law namely Rafakat Hussain, a resident of Kargil Colony, Bhatindi (Jammu) originally from Poonch used all pressure tactics and then got a fabricated FIR registered under coercion by the some criminally motivated lawyers.
“The counter FIR has been registered against doctors and to the surprise RDA president, Neeraj Sharma, which was not even present in Jammu at the time of alleged incident, was named in the FIR. Being RDA president Dr Neeraj Sharma, Registrar Medicine after receiving calls from his colleagues came to GMC control room only at 9:40 pm on the day of incident and has been falsely implicated by the culprit lawyer in retaliation to the strong protest by RDA after the shameful incident”, he added.
“The baseless allegations against our president are condemnable and amount to character assassination we will fight till we are breathing” said Dr Romil Sharma, organizing secretary of RDA and joint secretary, Dr Akhil Gupta.
They said if the false allegations are not removed by the police authorities within 24 hours i.e till Monday 4 pm, then they will go on indefinite strike and responsibility will be of police authorities.
