As the protest by junior doctors against the rape and murder of a fellow medic enters its fifth day on Saturday, they prepare to continue the demos indefinitely.
The scattered rainfall on late Friday night and early Saturday morning caused inconvenience for the protesting junior doctors as many got thoroughly drenched. Determined to conduct the protest, the striking doctors continue their demonstration.
Yet, courtesy initiatives by some individual and voluntary community-based organisations expressing solidarity with the protesting junior doctors offered them tarpaulins to protect from the showers.
As scattered rainfall continued on Saturday morning, the protesting junior doctors managed to raise shades using those tarpaulins and are gearing up to continue with their sit-in protests for an indefinite period till their demands are fulfilled .
They have already nullified the claims by West Bengal Chief Minister on Thursday that there is a political colour in the protest where the aim is not "justice" but "chair."
According to the West Bengal Junior Doctors' Forum, under whose banner these demonstrations are going on, nothing political is there in their protest, enough examples of which are evident wherein they did not allow opposition leaders, including some elected representatives, to join their protests.
According to them, both BJP Lok Sabha member and former judge of Calcutta High Court Abhijit Gangopadhyay and party legislator Agnimitra Paul came to different protest venues to express solidarity but they had to hear "Go Back" slogans.
According to them, they have protested against each and every person who has tried to politicise their protests.
