The controversy surrounding a medical intern's decision to keep her face veil on during her hospital duties has assumed political dimensions. The BJP has alleged that the intern incited communal tensions by misrepresenting the situation to the public.
A viral video depicted a confrontation between the intern and a gynecologist, igniting public discourse and prompting local BJP leaders to submit a memorandum to the District Collector demanding action against those accused of creating community discord.
Hospital authorities clarified that the request to remove the face veil was strictly for medical accountability, adhering to a preset dress code. Investigations are ongoing as medical officials await further complaints.
