The Home Minister held two rounds of talks with the junior doctors' representatives at his chambers on Wednesday. He told them that there was no point in demanding the arrest of the MLAs, because it would snowball into a law and order problem, as the agitation was taking a political turn with the involvement of Bharatiya Janata Party leaders. He convinced them that the law would take its own course; moreover, the longer the agitation, the more will be the repraisal from the people. Already, several public interest ligitations are being filed against the doctors in the High Court and it would be better for them to withdraw the agitation in their own interest.
Jana Reddy argument has convinced the doctors, who were earlier agitated over the issuance of a GO by the Chief Minister, invoking Essential Services Maintenance Act against them. The doctors were prepared to fight the battle against the government, but wisdom prevailed upon them and they responded positively to a call from the Home Minister. So, all is well that ends well.
