Medak (Telangana): A hospital in Medak treating the patients from Madrasa Minhaj ul Uloom, who were injured in the attack by the Hindutva mob, was Saturday June 15, 2024 allegedly targeted by 150-200 BJP and BJYM workers.
“Is treating a patient a sin?” Dr. Naveen of Orthopaedic Hospital Medak asks in a video shared on social media.
The doctor breaks down in tears as he spoke after his hospital was attacked by the Hindutva goons.
“Next time whenever any patient comes to my hospital, I will first consult other doctors before treating him”, he is heard saying sarcastically.
The mob also smashed the cars of the hospital staff parked outside.
According to reports, the management of Madarsa Minhaj ul Uloom had purchased cattle to sacrifice for Bakra Eid.
Some members of the right-wing Hindutva organizations created ruckus near the Madrasa after the sacrificial animals were brought in. Police reached the spot and dispersed the mob. The mob also attacked nearby shops owned by Muslims.
An hour later, the members of the right-wing Hindutva groups again reached the madrasa and launched a renewed attack. Several people, who were inside the madrasa, received injuries and were shifted to a local hospital for treatment.
“We were treating the wounded patients when a mob of some 100 to 150 people stormed the hospital and pelted stones damaging the window panes. Furniture was damaged and a staff suffered a fracture on her leg”, Dr Naveen, of MOGH speaking to media persons said.
“Tell us what wrong we have done. Is treating a patient a sin?” Dr. Naveen asked.
Doctors are the protectors of humanity. The terror of Hindutva elements forced a doctor to tears. His only fault was admitting an injured Muslim patient to his hospital in Medak Town, Telangana.
