Mamata Banerjee Will Attend, Come For Talks: Bengal Government To Doctors
NDTV
The Supreme Court, which took suo moto cognisance of the RG Kar horror, had left it to the Bengal government to deal with the striking junior doctors.
The Bengal government on Thursday afternoon invited junior doctors - on strike for 34 consecutive days to protest the rape-murder of a colleague at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital - to another round of talks, which will be attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Chief Secretary Manoj Pant said.
The protesting doctors had refused two earlier invitations because she was not to be present.
Mr Pant, however, said the state would not accept a demand to live-stream the meeting but offered a compromise, saying it could be recorded "to maintain transparency". "This will serve the purpose intended from your end while also ensuring all discussions are accurately documented," he wrote.
