Medical students to strike against quota

"At the moment it is an all out strike by students of AIIMS, Safdarjung, Maulana Azad Medical College, Lady Hardinge and Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital," Amitasha Sinha, a medical student leader and spokesman of 'Youth for Equality', group told PTI.

Should there be quota in IITs, IIMs?

She said they would continue their stir until they are allowed to meet HRD Minister Arjun Singh.  She said her colleagues would also be meeting resident doctors to get their support for the their strike call.

"Let us see if doctors also join us," Sinha, a student of Lady Hardinge Medical College said. The Resident Doctors Association at the hospital was also holding a meeting to draw up its future course of action. "We have not arrived at a decision but a meeting is on," Sumir Sethi, president of the association said.
