Senior orthopedic surgeon Dr Govinda KC has warned of staging another round of hunger strike from January 1 if his demands are not met. He said those against the reforms in country’s medical sector are involved in deceptive manoeuverings against the Medical Education Bill.

Issuing a statement on Wednesday, Dr KC urged the government, parliament committee and the political parties to immediately endorse the bill as per the agreement signed with him.

The anti-corruption crusader said every government, who signed deal with him before he ended his fast, had tried to blackmail him in signing the agreements to fulfill the vested interests of agents and mafias rather than the welfare of people and students.

He said the government has been working against the people and students by violating the agreements instead of showing honesty by implementing the agreements.

Dr KC said that the situation has not changed until now even though he signed agreements 15 times following indefinite hunger strikes.

He said that a report presented by Kedar Bhakta Mathema-led task force has not been implemented fairly.

Dr KC said that his serious attention has been drawn towards the recent developments regarding the Medical Education Bill, claiming that attempts are being made to fulfill the vested interests of medical mafias in the parliament committee.

He said the government and senior leader of the political parties in collusion with medical mafias are hell bent on subverting the bill.

“It is unfortunate that party and people’s representatives are trying to fulfill the vested interests of mafia by altering the agreement signed with us,” said Dr KC, adding, “We will not tolerate such maneuverings.”

Dr KC said there will be no progress in the medical sector until private medical colleges are brought under the government. He said there is not alterative to bring the private medical colleges under the government to bring reforms in the medical sector.

He stressed on the need to scrap the license of private medical colleges found involved in anomalies.
