High Drama at AIIMS Body Meet as Venugopal Walks Off

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/High_drama_at_AIIMS_body_meet_as_Venugopal_walks_off/articleshow/2341130.cms

That the logic put forth by P Venugopal, for those accompanying him to be allowed to attend the General Body Meeting (GBM) at Nirman Bhawan , was not addressed by the politicians present is prove enough that Anbumani Ramadoss has not given up mischief making in the affairs of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). It is customary for senior civil servants to participate in meetings and conferences with their support staff in order to do justice to issues that arise during the discussions. The Health Minister has always endeavored to isolate the Director of AIIMS ever since he lost the legal battle to have his decision to remove P Venugopal endorsed by the courts. It is a shame that other politicians of dubious public record, like RK Dhawan, have joined Anbumani Ramadoss’ efforts to dislodge P Venugopal and interfere in the AIIMS. Birds of the same feathers flocking together!

It would be pertinent to question whether Anbumani Ramadoss or RK Dhawan attends any such business meets without their staff to brief those present with details of issues under discussion. Politicians like Anbumani Ramadoss and RK Dhawan are bent upon destroying one of the finest medical institutes in the country. It is the same politician who went all out to muster support for Arjun Singh’s Mandal II campaign. What a disgrace!

De-politicization of our educational institutes is an extremely urgent and pressing issue.
