On Thursday, junior doctors at the Medinipur Medical College and Hospital in West Bengal started a protest against the harassment on them by a Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) leader named Mostafizur Rahman Mallick.
A close aide of the ex-Principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Sandip Ghosh, Mostafizur is accused of being involved in ragging and he has forced junior female doctors to dance to item songs. According to the media reports, Mostafizur graduated from the Medinipur Medical College and Hospital about 3 years ago. The accused continues to stay in the hostel.
Mohammed said, ‘He continues to harass us and threatens to evict junior doctors from the hostel and he tells us that nothing would happen to him even if we were to approach the Health Department’.
He further said that Mostafizur has threatened not to allow junior doctors access to their registration certificates. “The TMCP leader controls everything, starting from the seating arrangement in the exams to even failing students,” Mohammed continued. He also informed that Mostafizur even extorted ₹2000 from each junior doctor and inducted them in Trinamool Chhatra Parishad.
The doctor said, ‘They run a syndicate through they control everything (inMedinipur Medical College and Hospital)’. A medical student named Shreya Mondal said, ‘Since the first day we took admission in this college, the teachers left the class and the students were in the class, then this unit came and closed our doors, and the rascals belonging to this Mostafizur came and ragged us’.
‘We are harassed and the time we were freshers, we were taken to the auditorium. In front of the whole auditorium, they say play the item song and dance. Since that day, we are afraid and many of the juniors are threatened that if you protest, you will become a target!” she emphasised.
She further added, ‘This unit enters our class and closes the door. Mostafizur Rahman comes in with his followers and they ragged us like anything. The women in the classroom were not respected; we were publicly harassed’.
The academic institution lacks in providing security and safety to the women. The rape and murder of the female trainee doctor has a put a very big question on the management of the RG Kar Medical College.
