Kolkata hospital refuses to treat Bangladeshi patients
Kolkata: Authorities at a hospital in Kolkata city of West Bangal state have said that they will not treat patients from Bangladesh.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the J N Ray Hospital in north Kolkata’s Manicktala area said it would not treat patients from Bangladesh amid protests over the alleged atrocities on minority Hindus in the neighbouring country.
“We have issued a notification that from today till an indefinite time we will not admit any Bangladeshi patient for treatment. This is primarily because of the insults they have shown towards India,” said hospital official Subhranshu Bhakt.
He urged other hospitals in the city to do the same against citizens of Bangladesh.
“India has played an important role in their independence but despite that, we are witnessing anti-India sentiments. We hope other hospitals will support us and take similar steps,” he added.
