SC notices to Centre, IMA on plea seeking doctors to be made liable for striking

The plea said the IMA was involved in the nationwide protest to express solidarity with doctors in West Bengal, and this impacted health services adversely. It contended that doctors' strike in India directly impacts defenceless patients, and leaders of IMA have turned a blind eye on it, as it slammed "..the overtly reckless, uncaring, immoral and unlawful attitude of our medical leaders, in particular by the leaders of IMA".
