Kolkata hospital says won’t treat Bangladeshi patients

A hospital in Maniktala, Kolkata, has announced it will no longer treat Bangladeshi patients, citing allegations of minority persecution in Bangladesh and disrespect toward the Indian flag. Shubhranshu Bhakta, an official from JN Roy Hospital, stated that the decision is indefinite and urged other hospitals to take similar actions. He highlighted India’s significant role in Bangladesh’s liberation war, expressing disappointment over rising anti-India sentiments in Bangladesh. The official justified the move by accusing Bangladeshis of dishonoring India, while also emphasizing solidarity with persecuted minorities in Bangladesh.
