In his statement, Majumdar also addressed the ongoing strike by junior doctors, stating that while junior doctors are on strike, senior doctors continue to perform their duties. He accused the Chief Minister of politicizing the situation, asserting that Banerjee’s actions are designed to incite public sentiment against the medical professionals involved in the strike.
"You (CM Mamata Banerjee) are politicising the issue and trying to incite the public against doctors," Majumdar added, reflecting concerns over the handling of the strike and its broader implications for public health and political discourse.
Majumdar’s comments highlight the escalating tensions between the state government and the medical community, with significant implications for public trust and healthcare administration in the region.
