Amritsar : The medical students of Chintpurni Medical College protested against the Union Cabinet Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal and also burnt her effigy in Amritsar on Friday evening. The students claimed that Minister Badal was present at the residence of State Cabinet Minister and her brother, Bikram Singh Majithia on Thursday evening and she went to minister’s residence to meet him, but she did not met them.
One of the medical students told, “We went to Majithia’s house so that we could discuss our demand with Harsimrat Badal, but we all felt disappointed when she did not spare even few minutes for us.”
The students were protesting in Amritsar since September 28 and demanding that government should transfer them to state-based recognised medical colleges from the present college as it is not recognised by Medical Council of India till date. Many of the political parties including Congress, BJP and AAP have extended their support to the protesting students.
