Dr Govinda KC demands Education Minister’s resignation

 

 

Kathmandu, September 28

Medical education reform activist Dr Govinda KC has demanded that Education Minister Giriraj Mani Pokhrel tender his resignation.

Dr KC, who organised a press conference in Kathmandu on Friday, said that the minister must step down as he was hindering the implementation of an agreement activists signed with the government during the 15th hunger strike of the orthopedic surgeon.

“The minister has been found involved in distorting the provisions of the Medical Education Ordinance and hindering the implementation of agreements signed in the past,” said Dr KC.

It is sad that the House has been prorogued without passing the crucial medical education legislation, said the activist who accused the ruling NCP leaders of signing agreements but not implementing the provisions of such agreements.

Dr KC warned that he will go on yet another hunger strike if the government does not heed his demands.
