Who says rule of law applies in India. We are as lawless as some of the worst countries in Africa. Probably they are still better 'coz if they don't value rule of law, they atleast admit it that they don't accept. We have become a psuedo democracy. Anyone can do anything. Arjun Singh can come out with quota policy. Ramadoss can fire AIIMS Director. Doctors can go on strike without notice! What's this!
Where are our respected President and Prime Minister? Are they helpless or are they not wanting to interfere? Where is the Supreme Court who forced the doctors to withdraw the strike and assured them of justice? Is this the Justice?
Now the ball is in Supreme Court's court. Can they force the government to undo the injustice in the same way they forced doctors! Can they call Ramadoss to Supreme Court and ask him to explain his role ?

And sridhar you so stupid, posted your stupid comment in the wrong place!
I think the main villian in this on going drama is venugopal because he being a doctor is tring to be a Leader.
I suppose the student community itself had lots of grieviance about this person venugopal who has done nothing for the development of AIIMS.
Its high time that doctors understand their priorties right and understand their first duty is to treat the patient and if at all they want to protest they could still do by not disrupting the services for the patients
Tamil Nadu's anti-Brahmin vitriol spills on to the national stage. Please don't sympathize with the Prime Minister. It's not enough to be a gentleman in politics, unless you have the guts to do the dirty job, you have no right to enter politics. If you cannot trim this Cabinet member who cannot contain his hatred for some "castes", it's not realistic to expect any governance or a leadership spine from our PM.
The only solution - for all the problems - is this government has to go. Only failures not capable of handling even issue like this.
"Congress ki Hath, Aam aadhmi ke saath" - what is happening today, forget the aam adhmi, no section of the society is happy. I only pray the almighty, this goverment has to go at the earliest.
It is not Dr Venugopal who should be sacked. It is the Union Minister of Health that needs to be sacked for behaving in a manner that does not befit his position. It looks like he has not grown out of his teen age. Looks like his anger/ego/emotions/feeling of inferiority complex that must be troubling him when he sees the more accomplished doctors of AIIMS, that has led him into this kind of foolish selfcreated predicament. Our Prime minister must have courage to intervene and sort out the matter in a way that Health Minister gets a blunt, clear message since he doesnot seem to be sensitive enough to catch subtle messages.
The act of Health minister shows him as well as the government in a very poor light .It will not be incorrect to say that the govt has become a lame duck govt led by a PM who has no voice or authority and run by ministers both junior and senior , acting as per their whims and fancies . A pity that even a distinguished president is just an onlooker in the goings on . This is the result when your greed for power surpasses every other need of an individual or party . In case of AIIMS director , the way he has been asked to stay out of the meeting where his future was being discussed ,is to say the least highly deplorable . Even a sweeper in a govt dept cannot be dismissed without proper hearing .I dare PM to stop health minister on his tracks , else the day is not far off when the govt will be pulled down by its allies .
