The West Bengal government has called the agitating doctors for talks to end the deadlock in the RG tax case. Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant said that the doctors have been invited to the Chief Minister’s residence at 5 pm. However, the doctors say that they will hold an important meeting in the evening. Only after this a decision will be taken regarding meeting the Chief Minister.
Earlier, Mamata Banerjee had appealed to the protesting doctors who had come to her residence for talks on Saturday evening to attend the meeting. Then the doctors had demanded live telecast of the meeting. As no agreement could be reached on this, no talks took place between the two sides.
The Supreme Court was cited
Mamata had appealed to the doctors to come inside and not get drenched in the rain and said, “I request all of you to come inside and attend the meeting. Since the matter is in court, we cannot allow live telecast of the meeting. The meeting will be video recorded. I will provide you a copy of it only after the permission of the Supreme Court.”
‘Why are you guys insulting me like this?’
The Chief Minister had said that today you said that you want to meet, so I am waiting. Why are you people insulting me like this? Please do not insult me like this. Earlier on three occasions I kept waiting, but you people did not come.
