CPI plea in HC over disqualification of disabled medicos
Hyderabad, May 15 (UNI) CPI Andhra Pradesh Council Secretary K Narayana today sent a telegram to the High Court requesting that it be treated as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on the issue of disqualification of disabled medical students in the MBBS course.
In the telegram, he submitted that according to media report, the admission of 20 disabled students to the MBBS course had been cancelled. The cancellation had taken place after the students completed one-year of course, following a ''direction'' from the Medical Council of India.
''Why
these
20
disabled
students
should
suffer
for
the
mistake
of
NTR
Health
University,'' he
contended
and
submitted
that
the
MCI's
behaviour
was
''inhuman
and
against
the
principles
of
natural
justice.''
