Telly doctors' reserved opinion
Your stand on reservation
I am totally against any kind of reservation. I am not against the SC/ST students, but what I demand is good education for them. Let them get good percentage and then vouch for the merit seats.
Do you support the agitating students?
Yes, I whole-heartedly support them and feel bad that some of them have suffered grave injuries. These are men and women who will be future doctors and save our lives. How
can you treat them like they are some hooligans and beat them up?
Your say on the police assault
The cops responsible for the attack should be punished.
It was wrong for them to raise their sticks on students who were silently making some demands.
Stepping into the doctors’ shoes
I would have gone on the streets, organised mass rallies and made sure my voice was heard.

Your stand on reservation
These are doctors who will be responsible for saving lives.
Reservation will only create differences between the students and dilute the ones with merit and good education. We are living in an age where caste and creed have taken a backseat, so why judge students on that basis.
Do you support the agitating students?
Yes, I totally support them. They carried their protests out in a very dignified manner and did not let it turn into something violent.
Your say on the police assault
It’s unfair for the cops to beat them up. These are students, not terrorists,
so how can you treat them like this. Police should instead devote their time in solving
criminal cases and chasing hooligans.
Stepping into the doctors’ shoes
I would have written letters to the government and held silent marches. In fact,
I am planning to organise a signature campaign with friends.
