Dr Shabba Hakim, Kolkata Mayor and TMC leader Bobby Hakim’s daughter who is also a doctor slammed Mamata govt even as the West Bengal CM claimed BJP was giving it a communal colour.

She said she was 'ashamed to be a TMC supporter', said the police didn't do anything when 'two truckloads of goons' turned up and wondered why police didn't call for backup.

The protests have spiralled with IMA set to join the stir across the nation and AIIMS resident docs joining.

Read her Facebook post below:

For those who do not know Doctors in government and most private hospitals are boycotting OPD but are still working in emergency. Unlike other professions we can’t just decide not to work because at the end of the day we have humanity.

If there was a bus or taxi strike not one taxi driver or bus driver would provide you with any service no matter how dire the situation.

For those saying “Ono Rugider ki dosh?” Please question the government as in why the police officers posted in government hospitals do little to nothing to protect doctors? Please question them that when 2 truckload of goon showed up why wasn’t back up sent immediately?

Please question why goons are still surrounding hospitals and beating up doctors?

We have a right to peaceful protest.

We have a right to safety at work.

P.S. as a TMC supporter I am deeply ashamed at the inaction and the silence of our leader.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief alleged that outsiders had entered medical colleges and hospitals to create disturbances. She also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of trying to give the strike a communal colour.

"The BJP, with help from the CPI(M), is indulging in Hindu-Muslim politics. I am shocked to see their love affair," Banerjee said. "BJP chief Amit Shah is encouraging his party cadre to create communal tension and run a propaganda on Facebook." Senior BJP leader Mukul Roy had alleged that members of a particular community had carried out the attack on doctors and that the perpetrators belonged to the TMC.

The doctors, who have been agitating since Tuesday after two of their colleagues were attacked and seriously injured at the NRS medical college and hospital in Kolkata, raised "we want justice" slogans before the chief minister.
