Chaudhary Lal Singh was in the hospital to check preparedness for the Amarnath yatra.

A photograph of Jammu and Kashmir Minister Chaudhary Lal Singh purportedly touching the collar of a woman doctor has gone viral on social media. The BJP leader, who is Minister for Health, had gone to the government hospital in Lakhanpur to check preparedness ahead of the start of Amarnath yatra.

In the hospital, he found that the collar of the doctor was not in proper place and corrected its posture. “Minister moved to female doctor asked her... Bitya your collar is not proper and corrected it with his hand. There was no protest by the female doctor,” a senior officer witness to the whole episode, said.

In fact, another woman doctor watching the Minister adjusting the collar of her colleague, ensured hers was in order, the officer said.
