Newsroom, May 22: Dr Kafeel Khan, who was allegedly made a scapegoat by Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh BJP government after death of dozens of children in state run hospital in Gorakhpur last year, has come now forward to serve in Nipah virus affected areas of Kerala.

The paediatrician, whose timely service had countless infants in Uttar Pradesh, took to Facebook to seek permission from Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to serve at Calicut Medical College Hospital, where the Nipah victims have been admitted.

While requesting the CM to allow him 'to save innocent lives', the medical practitioner also praised the service of Lini, the nurse who succumbed yesterday to the infection. "She is an inspiration and I am more than willing to sacrifice my life for the noble cause," wrote Dr Kafeel on his Facebook post.

Responding to the FB post, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said that the state government is more than happy to allow persons like Dr Kafeel to work with the state.

“...Even in the face of danger, innumerous doctors continue to toil for the benefit of society, without being mindful of their own well-being. Dr Kafeel Khan is one among them. Many medical professionals have expressed their interest to work in the Nipah affected areas of Kozhikode. The government of Kerala welcomes their service...,” stated the Kerala CM’s office on Facebook in reply to Dr Khan.
