In a press statement, Dr Bijnan Kumar Bera, General Secretary, Medical Service Center, stated the following :
“As you all know, BJP led Yogi Adityanath Govt in Uttar Pradesh, announced in news media that Dr Kafeel Khan, a well known humanitarian doctor who saved the lives of many children at BRD Medical College during oxygen tragedy, has been terminated from his service. Medical Service Centre, a national level socio-medical voluntary organisation, vehemently opposes this fascist step. The Allahabad High Court as well as the Honourable Supreme Court has dismissed all the charges against Dr. Kafeel Khan. But none the less the Yogi Adityanath led UP Govt decided to dismiss him from his post once again without paying any regards towards the ruling of these Judicial authorities.
