Medical students studying in Chinese universities protest
India Today
Indian students enrolled in Chinese universities are protesting to get recognition in physical training.
Medical students from India who have enrolled in Chinese universities have staged a protest outside the Kerala secretariat. The students are demanding recognition in physical training in India. An association of parents of medical students in foreign countries, the Foreign Medical Graduates Parents Association (FMGPA), organised the protest under its banner.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, medical students were unable to return to China for the completion of the course. Chinese authorities refused to provide visas to Indian students amid the current situation. Therefore, students have asked for the completion of their courses online.
"We were forced to come back from China in January 2020. It's been two years since we have been attending online classes.
We don't have any recognition of whether the Indian government will accept us with these online classes.
Most of us are doing practical work at various government and private hospitals in Kerala but it is not recognised," Murshid Aleen, a fourth-year medical student at Yangzhou University told ANI.
