Agitating junior doctors in West Bengal on Tuesday rejected Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee's invitation for talks at the state secretariat, expressing discontent over the "tone" of an email from the government. The doctors are protesting the Kolkata rape-murder incident that took place at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last month.
"The language used in the communication is not only disrespectful to us doctors, but it's also highly insensitive. We see no reason to respond to this email," said Dr Debasish Halder, a leader of the protesting doctors, during a sit-in outside the state health department headquarters at 'Swasthya Bhavan' in Salt Lake.
