00:00We want the Central Protection Act to be on the paper.
00:03Only if the ordinance is at least on the paper, will we be able to stop this strike.
00:06Otherwise, we will continue doing this strike.
00:08There was an incident with a nurse in Bulandshahr.
00:10When will this stop? We want an answer.
00:12Women's safety, not just doctors.
00:14All women who work late at night.
00:16They need safety.
00:18If someone is a rapist, whether it's an MLA, MP or me,
00:22rapists are rapists.
00:24We are asking for safety from the government.
00:26We want safety.
00:28Rapists should be hanged to death.
00:31There is no point in going to jail and filing a lawsuit.
00:35If a woman is raped in the middle of the night after working for 38 hours,
00:40how will anyone work?
00:42If someone slaps a lawyer, we get murdered.
00:45The government doesn't even raise a finger.
00:47What does sister want to show?
00:49Sister should be a woman and support the woman who was raped.
00:54Sister should know that my daughter was raped.
00:57In Kolkata, there has been an incident with a trainee doctor.
01:02There is a ruckus in the country.
01:05In Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee took to the streets.
01:13There is a ruckus.
01:15On the 14th and 15th, there was a ruckus.
01:18The doctors are being watched.
01:23This is Delhi.
01:26Doctors are protesting in Delhi.
01:29They are demanding that the safety of the junior doctors should be ensured.
01:34They are protesting because they want their safety to be ensured.
01:41In Nirmal Bhawan, which is near the foreign ministry,
01:46whether it is boys or girls,
01:49the junior doctors have the responsibility to train the patients.
02:03They train the patients and help them.
02:06They also teach them.
02:08They train them along with their studies.
02:11The residents are chanting the slogans of justice.
02:19What kind of justice are you asking for?
02:32We want a fast track inquiry from the CBI.
02:35The victim should be hanged and raped.
02:40You are protesting today.
02:46But the government is saying that you will be hanged.
02:51This has been going on for the past three years.
02:54We want the Central Protection Act to be on the paper.
02:57We will continue the strike only if the ordinance is on the paper.
03:02You will continue the strike?
03:04Yes.
03:05We will continue the strike until the CBI is on the paper.
03:08We want justice.
03:11What kind of justice are you asking for?
03:13You have been protesting for a few days.
03:15The entire country knows what happened to a doctor.
03:18She was a woman before she became a doctor.
03:20We are still asking for justice.
03:22We have been protesting for 5-6 days.
03:24We are not getting any answers to our questions.
03:28We are asking for justice.
03:32What kind of questions are you asking?
03:34The CBI is being investigated.
03:35The accused has been arrested.
03:37What kind of justice are you asking for?
03:39The accused has been arrested.
03:42Sir, the accused has been arrested.
03:44The accused is not the same person.
03:46This is a fight for one doctor.
03:48What happened to the woman is not the same.
03:50Listen to this from that day till today.
03:52You said that you had an incident with a nurse.
03:54When will this stop?
03:56We want an answer.
03:57We are on the streets because we are with the doctors.
04:00We are on the streets for everyone.
04:03Where are you coming from to protest?
04:08I believe that we are not just protesting for a doctor.
04:14We are protesting for a woman as well.
04:17There is no shortage of such incidents in our country.
04:23This happens every day.
04:26I think that doctors like me and myself are surprised
04:32that such an incident can happen with a female doctor
04:35at her workplace as well.
04:37Our protest is against this.
04:40If a woman is not safe in this country,
04:42she is not safe at home,
04:44she is not safe outside the house,
04:46and she is not safe at her workplace as well.
04:48We want an answer for this.
04:51We are not policy makers.
04:53We have only studied medicine.
04:55But what changes should be made in the policy
04:58so that the working hours of doctors are better?
05:00Women's safety, not just doctors,
05:02all women who work late at night,
05:04they need safety.
05:06Fruitful changes should be made for this.
05:09In our Factory Act and ESI,
05:12very few provisions have been given for women.
05:15Women are not supposed to do night duty.
05:17But what about those who do night duty?
05:21Mr. Navni, what kind of demand are you making?
05:23What kind of protest do you want?
05:25What should happen for resident doctors?
05:28Because it is a big incident that a working doctor
05:31is working.
05:32If such an incident happens at the workplace,
05:34it is obviously shocking.
05:36But how far will this protest go?
05:38What are you thinking?
05:39Sir, the first thing about the protest is that
05:41the administration did not acknowledge what happened.
05:44They tried to suppress it.
05:46Evidence is being erased.
05:48First of all, there should be a fair trial.
05:51There should be no tampering in the investigation.
05:53The West Bengal government is not doing anything.
05:56They are not supporting it.
05:57They transferred the CBI and said that
05:5990% of the investigation was done in a week.
06:01Do you think they will give reports?
06:03Do you think it is a one-man job?
06:04At some angle, you can say that it is a one-man job.
06:07No one can believe it.
06:09This is the first thing.
06:10The second thing is that we are demanding CPI.
06:12This is a Central Protection Act
06:14that we have been demanding for years.
06:16There are junior doctors.
06:17Senior doctors do not come.
06:18There are junior doctors who face the patients.
06:21Whether the patient is dead or not.
06:23Everyone gets angry.
06:24I will get angry.
06:25You will also get angry.
06:26We bear the brunt of that.
06:27But what about our protection?
06:28If I am doing a duty for 24-36 hours,
06:31I am tired,
06:32if I am attacked at that time,
06:33who is taking responsibility for that?
06:35Is there no one from our family?
06:37Who is doing our protection?
06:39If the government does not take responsibility,
06:40then make such a facility so that all this does not happen.
06:43Why should we work hard?
06:45If we are working hard for the patient,
06:47doing everything with our heart,
06:48then that should be there for him.
06:50No doctor will touch you out of fear.
06:52If I know that there are 10 people standing with you
06:54and you are aggressive,
06:55will I come to treat you in the future?
06:57I will also go.
06:58Why should I risk my life?
06:59But that will only be fine when we know that there is protection.
07:02If something bad happens,
07:03then there is someone to stop it.
07:05Not that you are beaten,
07:06you are injured,
07:07the police are firing after 10 hours.
07:09This is not acceptable.
07:10That is why we need a Central Protection Act
07:12that is equal for all of us.
07:14And there should be such a punishment
07:15that only doctors or medical professionals should be beaten.
07:18The one who beats should be afraid.
07:19It is not that they will beat you and nothing will happen.
07:21The investigation is going on for 2 years.
07:23It is of no use.
07:24Do you understand my point?
07:26You can see that it is almost 8.30 in the night.
07:31And even at 8.30,
07:32the crowd of people near Nirmal Bhawan
07:35are constantly chanting slogans here.
07:39Give voice, we are one.
07:41They are chanting slogans like we want justice.
07:44Doctors are wearing aprons
07:46and are protesting here.
07:49And they are demanding that
07:50the Central Protection Act should be implemented
07:54at any cost
07:56so that the doctors feel safe
07:59from any kind of incident
08:02while doing their duty.
08:05Because the kind of incidents that happen,
08:08the kind of situation that is created,
08:10it is not possible for doctors to handle it.
08:12Do you have anything to say about this?
08:14Yes, I want to say that
08:16the resident doctors of our country,
08:18everyone must know,
08:19otherwise, take 4-5 days to see the condition of those doctors.
08:22They do their duty for 40-50 hours without eating or drinking.
08:26In such a situation,
08:27if a woman is raped by a doctor
08:29or if there are daily incidents,
08:31in an emergency,
08:32if she is beaten up by a doctor in a fit of rage,
08:34then the doctor has the right to treat her.
08:37If he could give a 10-minute CPR,
08:39then he will give a 8-minute one.
08:41If the doctor is giving the full protocol of CPR,
08:43in such a situation,
08:44a mob comes and beats her up.
08:45They beat her up by pressing her chest.
08:47Because they don't understand anything in anger.
08:49So, we don't want anything to happen against the people.
08:52We want the people of the country to understand
08:54that in an emergency,
08:55when a patient is on a stretcher,
08:58then for the safety of the doctor who is treating her,
09:00some soldiers should be deployed,
09:02some security personnel should be deployed,
09:04so that the doctor is safe.
09:06And if the government says that she is safe,
09:08then tell me,
09:09a woman doctor has been raped in a hospital.
09:11I am saying 40 hours less.
09:13You really come and see.
09:15We resident doctors don't get time to eat.
09:18We work so hard to serve the people of the country.
09:21And secondly,
09:22we are happy that the government has sent the CBI for the case.
09:26But even after the CBI came,
09:28we are hearing this.
09:29I don't know how much is true and how much is a lie,
09:31that the people of high authorities are also involved.
09:33The whole sex racket is going on in Bengal.
09:35Such and such news is coming.
09:37Look, if someone is a rapist,
09:39then whether he is an MLA or an MP,
09:41whether I am or you are,
09:42rapists are rapists.
09:43And India is a secular country.
09:45Justice is above all.
09:47Justice should be there.
09:48We need justice, no matter who it is.
09:50Okay, so you can see that justice is true.
09:53Women have been raped,
09:55women have been raped,
09:57but here to ask for their justice,
10:00here to ask for justice,
10:03to ask for justice,
10:05men have also gathered,
10:07and all people are protesting here together.
10:10One after the other,
10:12the people,
10:13I will talk to some other women,
10:16what is their demand,
10:18how are they seeing it.
10:19Okay, you have also come,
10:21what kind of demand,
10:23what do you want,
10:24what kind of demand do you have,
10:26what should be done
10:28so that doctors can be safe?
10:30Our demand is that
10:32this environment changes,
10:34we don't want to leave
10:35these horrible doctors,
10:36we don't want to leave our sisters.
10:38This is the only way.
10:40Like there is a rule in Japan,
10:43if someone is raped,
10:45his private part is not allowed
10:48so that he can have sex.
10:50And this should happen in our country.
10:52Hanging is a very easy punishment.
10:55They hang him,
10:56he dies,
10:57there is no solution to that.
10:59There should be a punishment
11:00that he suffers all his life,
11:02and he should cry all his life
11:04that what sin did I commit.
11:06It is very important.
11:08What are you demanding?
11:10How do you think,
11:11how will the situation improve here?
11:13First of all,
11:14the government will have to be strict
11:15on what we are demanding for the CPA Act.
11:17They should listen,
11:18they should talk directly once.
11:20We are standing here at home,
11:21has anyone come to ask?
11:23Has anyone come to talk?
11:24What do you want,
11:25what do you want to do?
11:26We have asked for only two things in the morning,
11:29safety and CPA.
11:31Even through CPA,
11:32we are only asking for safety.
11:33We work at such a minimum wage,
11:35we work all night.
11:36But did anyone ask?
11:38Did anyone ask during Covid?
11:39No one is asking after rape.
11:41Three thousand people are coming there,
11:42beating and going.
11:43There is firing going on.
11:44Nothing is happening there.
11:46It is safe from there.
11:47We are not safe after such a big incident.
11:50Who will ask after this?
11:52You tell me.
11:53We are only asking for safety from the government.
11:56We want safety.
11:57And the rapists,
11:59should be hanged to death.
12:01There is nothing going to happen
12:03by going to jail and laws.
12:05And this is not only for doctors,
12:07this is for every girl.
12:09For every girl.
12:11Be it your daughter,
12:12be it me,
12:13be it anyone else.
12:15What were you saying?
12:17If you are talking about justice,
12:19what kind of justice should there be?
12:21And when will this protest stop?
12:24How will it stop?
12:25Bring something for us,
12:27bring some rules and regulations.
12:2936 hours,
12:3038 hours,
12:31after doing duty,
12:32if this is happening with a girl in the middle of the night,
12:35how will anyone work?
12:37We do night duty,
12:38we bring emergency.
12:40How will we work in the middle of the night?
12:42If this continues?
12:44Why don't we want justice?
12:45We want justice,
12:46we want rules,
12:47we want protection.
12:48Even now,
12:49there is no protection in RGK.
12:51So many people are going to protest there.
12:53But after that,
12:54a mob is coming.
12:55A mob of thousands is coming.
12:56What is happening after that?
12:57Nothing is happening.
12:58Where is the protection from?
13:00Even now,
13:01nothing is happening for us.
13:03Something should happen.
13:04Children have been sitting since morning.
13:06Is something happening?
13:07Nothing has happened.
13:08Neither from the government,
13:09nor from any media person,
13:11nothing is happening for us.
13:13You see,
13:14this is also the pain,
13:15that in Narmada,
13:16today,
13:17people have been sitting since morning,
13:19the doctors who came to protest,
13:21they were sitting,
13:22but no government representative came here.
13:25No person came to assure them,
13:27that their protest,
13:28that is going on,
13:29how to end it.
13:31However,
13:32even in OPD,
13:33officials are coming,
13:34people who are coming to get treatment,
13:37they are getting worried.
13:39Because,
13:40there is a lot of responsibility on the doctors.
13:42I will talk to some more people.
13:45Okay,
13:46you tell me,
13:47where have you come from?
13:48Which college are you from?
13:49I am from AIMS.
13:50You are from AIMS?
13:51Okay.
13:52What is the arrangement that you want,
13:53so that everything gets better?
13:54Do you think,
13:55this arrangement will be done?
13:56If the government agrees,
13:57then the doctors will be protected.
13:59We are demanding for the Central Protection Act.
14:01Okay.
14:02Now,
14:03the Central Protection Act,
14:04at least,
14:05an audience should come out.
14:06Otherwise,
14:07we are not assured.
14:08Many times,
14:09it has been promised,
14:10that we will be given the Central Protection Act.
14:11In the Central Protection Act,
14:12non-bailable offence will be considered,
14:14whoever it is.
14:15Whoever is accused,
14:18and whoever is involved in violence against healthcare workers.
14:21But the thing is,
14:22till now,
14:23there has been no solution.
14:25Governments are very much insensitive to us.
14:27I don't know why.
14:28But,
14:29we are trying our best.
14:31Okay,
14:32I will talk to the doctors.
14:34Okay,
14:35you are from Max Hospital.
14:36What kind of arrangement do you want,
14:38so that it gets better?
14:39What kind of arrangement should be there?
14:41First,
14:42the Protection Act should be there.
14:43Protection Act is there for everyone.
14:45Why is it not there for us?
14:46If someone slaps a lawyer,
14:49we get murdered.
14:50Government does not even raise a finger.
14:51We want justice.
14:53We want justice.
14:54All the medical students of Kolkata,
14:57we are with them.
14:58This is a very heinous crime.
15:01Government or public cannot sleep on this.
15:03We will have to get up on this.
15:05We will have to raise our voice for ourselves.
15:07We will have to prove this to our administration,
15:11that no doctor should travel like this again.
15:15So, you can see,
15:16candles are being lit for that girl,
15:20who is against the incident in Kolkata.
15:26Solidarity is being shown here.
15:29All the doctors are present here.
15:32You can see,
15:34these are RML doctors.
15:37Okay,
15:38what kind…
15:39You have come here from there.
15:41What do you want?
15:43CBI is being checked.
15:45Everything is happening.
15:47Mamata Banerjee was on the streets today.
15:49What do you have to say about the demands of the people?
15:52Our demand is for the Central Protection Act.
15:56And now we know that Mamata Banerjee is on the road.
16:01Why didn't she come on the first road?
16:05In the beginning, our colleagues were raped by doctors.
16:09Not rape, gang rape.
16:11And on the 15th of August, at 2 am,
16:14at 2 am, 3,000 people were raped by our colleagues.
16:20So what is Mamata Banerjee hiding?
16:23What is she hiding?
16:27What is the reason behind this?
16:30Everyone knows who is behind this.
16:32The drama that Mamata Banerjee is doing,
16:35all the doctors understand it.
16:37But we are helpless.
16:38We are not involved in politics.
16:40We just want justice.
16:41What do we want? Justice.
16:43We don't have any other demand.
16:44We know how many patients are suffering because of the strike.
16:48But in the beginning, Mamata Banerjee created a ruckus.
16:51The police there created a ruckus.
16:54In the beginning, our colleagues were declared suicidal.
16:57Within hours, their parents were killed.
17:00After that, post-mortem was not allowed.
17:02Post-mortem was done because of the doctors' strike.
17:05After that, because of the Calcutta High Court,
17:08the CBI inquiry is being done.
17:10Mamata Banerjee is not doing it.
17:11Secondly, what does Mamata Banerjee want to show?
17:14Mamata Banerjee is a woman.
17:16She should be supported by the woman with whom the strike took place.
17:19Mamata Banerjee should be open about what happened to her daughter.
17:22That's all I can say.
17:24We can work without any fear with the CBI Act.
17:27Today's demand is the CBI Act.
17:29And because of the CBI Act, we are protesting here.
17:33The demand of the CBI Act is that
17:36the doctors should believe that
17:39if the CBI Act is passed,
17:41their safety will be ensured.
17:44You can see the big posters.
17:47University, college, hospital.
17:49And here, even though people study in different colleges,
17:53but even after coming from different institutions,
17:57people are coming here and protesting.
18:00And they are constantly demanding
18:03that the incident should not happen again.
18:10What do you want?
18:12What is your demand?
18:14What are your conditions during duty?
18:17Our first demand is that
18:19the incident should be investigated faster.
18:23And the culprit should be caught.
18:26The culprit is not caught.
18:29Because there is the involvement of multiple persons.
18:32This is our first demand.
18:34Secondly, we want the Central Protection Act for Doctors.
18:38Because in all professions,
18:40in all governments,
18:42there is an Act for those who have been harassed.
18:47There is nothing for doctors and health workers.
18:51These are our two demands.
18:54And one more demand is that we want complete security
18:57in all hospitals, hospitals and medical colleges.
19:03And we want CCTVs.
19:05This is our demand.
19:07You can see that from CCTVs to the CPA Act,
19:13doctors want everything for their safety.
19:17You can see the whole crowd.
19:21You can see the candles are lit.
19:24People are protesting with the candles.
19:27They are demanding for security.
19:30They are demanding for security.
19:33They are demanding for security.
19:36Because they work in the field.
19:38They save people.
19:40If those who save people are in danger,
19:43if those who save people are not safe,
19:46then who will be safe?
19:49Let me talk to some other female doctors.
19:52Where are you from?
19:54We are not from a hospital.
19:56We are just citizens of the country.
19:58You can see that some citizens have come to support the doctors.
20:02People in Delhi, people who are aware,
20:05because they were with a doctor,
20:08that is why they are getting support.
20:12What do you want?
20:14What kind of women's safety do you want?
20:16Because if this happens in the workplace...
20:19That is enough for us right now.
20:22There is nothing in the name of safety.
20:25I don't know if it will ever happen.
20:27To show solidarity,
20:30people are chanting slogans.
20:34We want justice!
20:36We want justice!
20:38We want justice!
20:40We want justice!
20:42We want justice!
20:44We want justice!
20:46We want justice!
20:48We want justice!
20:50We want justice!
20:52We want justice!
20:54We want justice!
20:56We want justice!
20:58We want justice!
21:00Even if it happened in Kolkata,
21:04it is heard in the whole country.
21:06Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai,
21:08and in all those cities where...
21:10the majority of the population are working,
21:14they go to work
21:16and leave the house.
21:18That's why in Delhi's Nirmal Bhawan area,
21:20you can see that the crowd behind me
21:22is continuously protesting
21:24and they are demanding
21:26that their security
21:28should be ensured
21:30and this protest will continue
21:32until we get justice.
21:34However,
21:36if we talk about security,
21:38a large number of police forces
21:40have been deployed
21:42and the entire road,
21:44Maulana Abul Kalam Road,
21:46has been closed off.
21:48For now, this is camera person Satyal
21:50with DVD.
