Mass rally before Monsoon Session of Parliament
MEDICOS OF the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are going to organise a mass rally to protest against government’s proposed quota hike in higher institutions, in New Delhi just before the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
This was revealed after a meeting held at IIT-K on Monday evening. A four-member delegation of AIIMS medicos was at IIT-K on Monday to garner mass support. IITians and medicos of the GSVM College attended the meeting.
Students of the AIIMS also chalked out a strategy with the IIT-K students to make the national level anti-reservation meeting, scheduled to be held on June 16, 17 and 18 at Bangalore, a big success. Having attended the meeting Ashwini Tripathi, a medico of GSVM College said, “We would first do mass campaigning and as suggested by the AIIMS medicos galvanize maximum support of people before the monsoon budget. We have to show the government strength of the masses.”
He said, “Earlier our protests were not effective so we have decided to work in a planned manner. A meeting would be held at the GSVM College on Thursday and Friday to discuss the strategy. Under graduate medicos would participate in that meeting.”
Taking lessons from the failure in New Delhi, medicos of the AIIMS are visiting premiere institutions in groups and laying emphasis on a national level organised movements. Omendra a member of FIR said, “Students from all premiere institutions are going to participate in the meeting in Bangalore and IIT-K students have been asked to gather support of students of other IITs in the country.”
He also said, “At least two students from each IIT would be taking part in the national level meeting at Bangalore.”A member of FIR said, “The emphasis right now is on co-ordination and to ensure a collective protest nation wide. The protest would have an impact on government only when lakhs of people will come out on roads on a particular date across the country.”
Meanwhile, a common strategy has been evolved following the Monday meeting and students of the IIT-K have been entrusted with the responsibility to mobilise students of other IITs and technical Institute. The AIIMS medicos have decided to make medicos of other medical colleges across the country aware about the lacunae in reservation policy.
