Puducherry: The medical mafias have failed and justice has won, Puducherry lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi said, welcoming the Supreme Court order on ₹10 lakh per annum fee cap for postgraduate medical courses in deemed universities.
“This order is a final nail in the coffin of historical exploitation of a nexus which existed in exploiting the meritorious poor for decades not only in Puducherry but around the country. This order is a culmination of the determined fight against inherited injustice and prevailing mafia then. It remains broken now. The SC order not only does justice to Puducherry but to all other states if they choose to apply,” she said.
Bedi recalled the timely intervention of her secretariat last year when none of the political parties and departments concerned came forward to protect the interests of the hapless but meritorious medical aspirants. She said it was the time when Raj Nivas had to stand on its own.
“Needy students and their parents were seen running from pillar to post. The open house at Raj Nivas brought forth the evidence of apathy. This is when Team Raj Nivas stepped in and take the bulls by the horns. It faced a huge hostile backlash. (Media reports of that period are replete with this),” she said in a WhatsApp message.
She said Raj Nivas brought the issue to the knowledge of the Union government and also to the Prime Minister’s office. “We wrote and went personally and explained the need for intervention to crush the prevailing mafia once and for all times. The MCI too realized it had to step in and supported us. They exposed the lies which were being told,” she said.
She lauded the role played by ‘a missionary and wellplaced lawyer in Chennai V B R Menon’ in the issue.
