Youth For Equality welcomes the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s order of 8th May 2008, which struck down the AIIMS Amendment Act 2007 and consequently reinstated Dr. P. Venugopal as Director of AIIMS. This order from the apex court proved that the argument of eminent jurist Fali S. Nariman infront of the Supreme Court. Mr. Nariman argued before the Supreme Court terming the act as an “Extremely hostile and discriminatory law singularly made to publicly humiliate an eminent doctor”.

Youth For Equality demands the resignation of Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss, who has taken corrupt, illegal and fraud route to remove Dr. P. Venugopal from the post of AIIMS’ Director. This is also a reminder to the Manmohan Singh Government not to temper law in the name of majoritarian rule. Even imposition of emergency was also a majority decision by the Parliament, which was wrong. The point of Youth For Equality is “Parliament is not infallible”.

AIIMS is the apex health care centre of India. All efforts should be made to improve the health of the country through this institution. Politics must not swamp the faith, reputation and high respect through the high degree of patient care AIIMS earned over the years.
