14th MAY : INDEFINITE STRIKE BY YFE :: IMA PITCHES IN -- --- --- -- CALLING NON-MEDICOS TOO

After the shocking incident yesterday in Mumbai, no concerned Indian can sit still...... (for details read next post).

TO PROTEST THE PROPOSED RESERVATIONS AS WELL AS EXPRESSING SOLIDARITY WITH OUR BRAVE MUMBAI FRIENDS, YOUTH FOR EQUALITY IS GOING ON INDEFINITE STRIKE...

The 5 medical colleges in Delhi are on HUNGER STRIKE from 14th May and have gathered at AIIMS.

The resident doctors of hospitals associated with these colleges are on undefinite strike from 13th May.
AIIMS
UCMS and GTB Hospital
LHMC and Suchetra Kriplani
MAMC and Lok Nayak Hospital
VMMC and Safdarjung hospital
RML Hospital.

ALSO IMA (Indian Medical Association) both DELHI and MUMBAI chapters have called for a 24 hour strike on 15th May, MONDAY. They have asked both Govt and Private doctors to join the strike.
An all-India action plan will be drawn up when the apex body of IMA meets on 20th May.
We thank the IMA for their support.

We also are aware that many other colleges across the country are on strike and warmly welcome them. We promise to list them soon. Meanwhile please be patient and continue with the movement in ur areas. You people are certainly not any less important than us in the metro cities.

WE APPEAL TO ALL NON-MEDICOS TO ALSO JOIN US.

Already many have done so. Still there's this perception that YFE is limited to medicos only. ITS LARGELY DUE TO THE FACT that medical colleges have taken initiative uptil now. Only few people from other fields have joined in. However if you read the 1st post on this blog dated 8th April----- we have clearly stated
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU OR ME.....THIS IS ABOUT US
Hope this clears any doubts. This forum is NOT limited to Medicos.
