A section of faculty members of AIIMS today condemned the alleged high-handedness on the part of the institute administration when Dr Kuldeep Kumar staged a dharna against his "illegal termination".
The Faculty Association of AIIMS (FAAIIMS) has condemned the institute's decision of sacking the doctor (Kumar) and has announced support to him. Demanding that his termination be withdrawn immediately, they have also written to Union Health Minister.
Dr Kumar has written a letter to Faculty Association of AIIMS (FAAIIMS) President saying that he was protesting peacefully in AIIMS at lunch hour yesterday but was allegedly thrown out by security personnel, said a senior doctor associated with FAIIMS.
He also alleged that all his belongings were taken by security personal, the doctor said.
AIIMS, however, has clarified that there were several complaints against Dr Kumar which included usage of objectionable language during ward assessment and bad behaviour with patients.
AIIMS had terminated the services of Dr Kumar on January 10 for allegedly misbehaving with and manhandling a patient in September last year.
