BJP supports doctor
The memorandum submitted to the collector has come out in support of Dr. Bindu Gupta on the hijab dispute. On Monday, party leaders led by BJP District President Chandraveer Singh Chauhan submitted a memorandum to the District Collector. The memorandum demanded that there should be no politics about religious symbols at a sensitive place like hospital and everyone should follow government rules. The BJP says that the hospital is a place of treatment, not the platform of faith and religion politics.
‘I will do duty only by wearing hijab…
- According to the information, the entire dispute started when the gynecologist Dr. Bindu Gupta advised the intern student to remove the hijab while on duty.
