Amid massive protest by the doctors in Rajasthan against the Right to Health (RTH) Bill, the Rajasthan state health minister Parsadi Lal Meena on Monday said that the government would not take back the bill at any cost.
“If there’s any problem with the bill, then we are ready to hold a discussion but the bill won’t be taken back. At any cost, we will not take back the bill,” Mr Meena said while talking to ANI.
He further said that the protesting doctors are taking “undue advantage”.
“After a lot of discussions, the Right to Health bill was brought by our government. People of the state are being benefited from it. We held discussions and abided by all demands of protesting doctors. CM has appealed to them to come back to work. They are taking undue advantage,” he further said.
The state minister also said that the bill was also sent to a select committee before it was passed.
“If required we will recruit more doctors if protests continue, we will do whatever is required,” he added.
