The Minister said, " I strongly condemn the attack on the doctors at Gandhi Hospital. In any case, we cannot forgive such actions. We will take strict action against the attackers,"

He asked, " If doctors and medical staff are risking their lives to save people's lives, what's the point of beating them?"
