Mysuru: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) State Unit President Dr. H.N. Ravindra lambasted Health Minister Ramesh Kumar for levelling corruption charges against him and comparing doctors to ‘pick-pockets’ and ‘barbers.’
“Doctors attached to the IMA will quit their profession if the Minister continues to speak disrespectfully about doctors and the State Government doesn’t drop the process of amending the Karnataka Private Medical Establishments (KPME) Act,” he said. Ravindra, who is also a Congress party leader, told reporters at Pathrakarthara Bhavan here yesterday that the Minister had no right to call him corrupt.
