GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

JAMMU OCT 15:-Jammu Doctors Forum (JDF) terms as illogical and absurd statement of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and former Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal at Doda wherein he has stated that “Male gynaecologists provide services to women” in Doda district. His statement has created quite an unrest in the society and is against the medical principles and ethics. This has also questioned the credentials of doctors practising genecology which needs to be rectified.

The medical profession is inherently gender-neutral, prioritizing skill, expertise, and patient care above all else. Arvind Kejriwal’s remarks in Doda, Jammu, targeting male gynaecologists, not only challenge this core principle but also perpetuate gender bias in a field where competence should be the only focus. Both male and female gynaecologists are highly trained professionals committed to women’s health, and comments like these foster needless divisions in a profession dedicated to healing and service, not gender distinctions.

Jammu and Kashmir is already having shortage of doctors and those working in far off places like Doda and Bhaderwah are performing their duties in adverse conditions and catering to the needs of people including women who are our sisters and daughters. Kejriwal statement has create furore amongst women patients as if male doctors are aliens and don’t adhere to their ethics. This has divided society and created an unrest. Kejriwal is a learned person who known the adverse effects of such statements.

We seek his unconditional apology for misguiding masses, misleading them and defaming the noble profession of doctors who are working hard to provide best medial services in India. Kejriwal must know that a number of best genealogists in India are male who are performing their duties at par with their female colleagues ably and catering to the people since several decades and no one has ever questioned their integrity.
Kejriwal must also know that Sushruta who is considered the Father of Indian Medicine was also male and like that Sage Agastya, Caraka and Vagbhata, Atreya and Agnivesa besides Atreya were all known for their capabilities in Indian medicine field and they were all male. Well known male gynecologists of jammu region who are serving the society for generations like Dr.Ajay wakhloo, Dr.Kasturi lal, Dr.Sunil chowdhary, Dr.Anil mehta, Dr.Yudhishter vir gupta, Dr.Vinay menia, Dr.Arun arora and Dr.R.C.Sharma are famous names in jammu and kashmir. Their dedication, commitment experience expertise and excellence is unquestioned.

We condemn the statement of Arwind Kejriwal and seek an unconditional apology from him or else we appeal to the people of Doda and other areas to see the nefarious designs in his statement that’s aimed at dividing society on the gender basis.
