The junior doctors of Kolkata have declared that they would continue their protest against the horrific rape-murder of a young doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar hospital till justice is done. The announcement came late on Monday evening - hours after the Supreme Court gave them a 5-pm-Tuesday deadline to join work.
The doctors said the protest is "a people's movement and neither the government nor the Supreme Court should forget that".
"We are extremely disappointed by the Supreme Court hearing... the case has been transferred from the High Court to the Supreme Court, from the state police to the CBI. But justice is still out of reach," said a spokesperson of the junior doctors at the RG Kar hospital, the epicentre of the strike.
