“While we cannot comprehend why such an action was taken specially targeting our leaders, it has led the residents of the college questioning the motive of the authorities”,the statement read.
“We believe that they want to create an atmosphere of fear in which no one will ever dare to raise their voice against injustice anymore. This is Nazi rule”.
“We stand one for all and all for one. Residents of GMC Srinagar have decided not to call off the strike unless all the PGs and SRs who have been suspended/terminated are reinstated including our President and the Vice-president.
This decision has been taken mutually by the residents of GMC Srinagar outside of the capacity of the RDA Srinagar.
The authorities are solely to be blamed for the situation that they have put the patients in”,it added.
