In Ajjarkad dist hospital, a rare display of Hindu-Musilm bond and a brazen assault by the doctor

Udupi, Jun 1: A doctors has always been held in high regards because life and death of a patient lies with him, with the leave of the God. He is the embodiment of humanity without any barrier. That's what the general view of people towards doctors in the society. But, this view is overturned by the General Physician in District Hospital at Ajjarakad, Udupi by allegedly assaulting a woman.

The incident took place in the backdrop of an exemplary manifestation of Hindu-Muslim concord wherein a Muslim family was taking care of a helpless Hindu woman and providing her financial assistance too.

After a fall, Sundari Moilythi was bed-ridden at her house without proper care, food and treatment. She was in dire need of medication. Her Muslim neighbors took her to the district hospital and got her admitted six days ago with the support of her relatives and local Zilla Panchayat member Shashikanth.

Unfortunately, the doctor was on leave and for five days Sundari was stranded without any proper treatment or care like any other patient in the hospital. Only a lady doctor was attending her and other patient every 24 hours just as a formality.

The worst was yet to come. According to the relatives and neighbors of the patient, Dr Nagesh, the general physician, who resumed duty yesterday (Friday, May 31), not only continued to ignore the patient but also stared misbehaved with those visiting her.

The patient’s neighbor Saira Banu (wife of P A Mohiddin, Assistant Commandant in BSF) asked the doctor why the treatment was not given to the patient for five days and why the CT scan of the patient was recommended by the doctor to be conducted outside while that facility was available in the hospital.

This enraged Dr Nagesh, who went wild and pushed her out of the ward by holding her hand in front of other women and patients including relatives of Sundari, eye-witnesses said.

The victim immediately approached the Udupi Women Police Station and lodged a complaint. An FIR under the Section 354A of IPC (attack & outrage on the modesty) has been registered against the doctor. The spot mahzar was also conducted.

Meanwhile, Sundari was discharged from the hospital for the better treatment in other hospital in the city. However, due to high pressure from social activists, journalists and other community workers, Dr Nagesh got the patient re-admitted in the hospital and conducted all the medical check-up procedures including scan, MRI immediately.

Many patients and their kin claim that though the good facilities are available in the hospital, most of the times the doctor recommended the patients to conduct their medical tests etc in other private hospitals.

Local activists have urged the authorities concerned including Udupi district-in-charge Minister to look into the issue immediately and take necessary action against the doctor so that the patients may get better treatment in the hospital.

Ms Rajani Devadiga from Mangaluru, who is presently based in Gujarat and the Devadiga community organization based in Mumbai are also working for the patient's cause and thanked the Muslim neighbors of the patients for their selfless service.

The reporter is an NRI social activist and a member of the patient’s neighboring family, which has been taking care of her.

I strongly appreciate the great humanitarian work done by the patient muslim neighbors. These types humanitarian work will build up inter-religion relations strongly. And I also appreciate the courageous move up the lady who confronts the duty doctor on behalf of patient.

Thank you for the wonderful and timely news about "You & your whole family's concern & humanitrian services" to your neighbor " it was really an eye - opener and it serve as a good reminder as to how we should show our rerespect & value for our fellow human beings.

 

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: Treat your neighbor nicely & if any of my ummah (nation) fills his stomach while your neighbor is suffering , then he is not amongst my Ummah." really, it reminds me in your case.

 

Take care of the patient till she recovers completely.

 

Hameed Sir, it's really need of the hour.

 

But i am very upset about the Doctor's adamency & bad attitude towerds the patient & their people including your female relatives. Doctors should be always humane & poliite. If they become impatient , then what is condition of the poor patients?

 

Hope that the doctor will learn a good lesson & treat the patients with proper care & treatment in the future.

Chikkamgaluru, Feb 21: Wazi Noronha, aka, Vojald, the father of Amulya Leona Noronha, who lives in Koppa taluk of Chickmagalur district has said that he was shocked by his daughter’s pro-Pakistan slogans.

“Let her rot in jail. I don’t mind if police break her bones, I don’t support what she said and I will not approach lawyers for her bail. She has committed a grave mistake,” he said.

Amulya, a 19-year-old student activist, was booked for sedition yesterday after she raised ‘Long Live Pakistan’ slogans at a CAA-NRC rally. A visibly embarrassed Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief and MP tried to snatch the mic away from her and slammed her. Karnataka Police have registered a case under IPC Section 124A (Offence of sedition) against Amulya.

Mr. Wazi, who owns a two-acre areca plantation and runs a poultry farm, said he would not make any attempts to get her bail. “Let the law take its course. I cannot approve of her statement,” he said.

He said he had cautioned his daughter against getting involved in protests. “I told her to complete studies first and later she could fight for poor people. But what she said yesterday is not acceptable. I don’t know what made her so. I hope a probe would bring out who prompted her to make such statements,” he said.

Mr. Wazi also admitted that he was associated with BJP and had worked for saffronite leaders like Shobha Karandlaje and D N Jeevaraj.

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.
