New Delhi: With the High Court order staying any action against Director P Venugopal weighing heavily, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) body on Wednesday demanded an explanation from him over complaints of discrimination of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST) students and irregularities in management.
The meeting was marred by a walkout by BJP MP and member VK Malhotra who said the meeting was "illegal, improper, and unconstitutional".
"All the members met this morning and discussed about the functioning and state of affairs in AIIMS. The members showed concern about happenings in the institute and unanimously decided to seek reply from the AIIMS administration on all these issues," Health and Family Welfare Minister Anbumani Ramadoss told reporters in New Delhi after chairing the institute body meeting, which was attended by 14 of the 17 members.
"The administration has been asked to give a reply in two weeks time," Ramadoss said.
On being asked whether the sacking of Venugopal was on the agenda, the Health Minister retorted back by saying, "Were you there in the meeting?"
He said the AIIMS authorities has been asked to explain complaints of discrimination against SC/ST students in the campus, financial irregularities, administrative inefficiency and indiscipline.
