KOLKATA, INDIA (November 30, 2024) – J.N. Ray Hospital in Kolkata’s Manicktala area announced it will temporarily refuse treatment to Bangladeshi patients in protest against alleged atrocities against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. The hospital cited instances of Bangladeshi nationals insulting the Indian flag as the reason for the decision.
Hospital official Subhranshu Bhakt stated that the ban, effective immediately, is a protest against the perceived mistreatment of religious minorities in Bangladesh. He called on other Kolkata hospitals to join the protest, highlighting India’s role in Bangladesh’s independence and expressing disappointment over what he described as anti-India sentiments. The hospital’s action follows growing concerns over the treatment of religious minorities in neighboring Bangladesh.
