‘Ready to resign’: Mamata Banerjee as standoff with doctors over RG Kar case continues | India News – Times of India


NEW DELHI: West Bengal Prime Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday offered to resign over the standoff with the protesting young doctors about the Doctor in Kolkata rape and murder case continued.
“For the sake of the people, I am ready to resign. I am not worried about the post. I want justice, I am only worried about achieving justice,” CM Mamata Banerjee said while addressing the media on the standoff with the doctors.
“I also apologise to the people of Bengal who expected the standoff to end today,” the CM said.

Mamata blamed the doctors for not turning up for the 5 pm meeting, saying, “27 people have died, 7 lakh patients are suffering because junior doctors have stopped working. I have tried to hold talks thrice. We have been waiting for over two hours to meet our fellow doctors who were invited here. We wrote to them and they wrote back assuring us that they would come… Only after we got their confirmation did we invite them, but it has been two hours now and we have not received any word from them. We asked them to come with an open mind and discuss every problem. Solutions can be found only through dialogues.”
“I still say that I will not take any action against them because they do not come and make us wait for two hours. I will forgive them because as elders it is our responsibility to forgive our younger ones,” the CM added.
