New Delhi: The meeting of the 17-member decision-making body of AIIMS called to discuss allegations against institute Director P Venugopal got off to a tumultuous start, with BJP leader V K Malhotra walking out in a huff minutes after it began.
"The meeting is illegal, improper, unconstitutional and sub-judice," Malhotra said as he walked out of the meeting.
He said he was unhappy that minutes of the July 5 meeting were circulated to members only after the meeting started.
Malhotra also said the minutes had no mention of the decision taken against Venugopal in the previous meeting.
Launching an attack on Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss, who was chairing the meeting and has been at loggerheads with Venugopal, the BJP leader said, "It's the minister's way of humiliating a senior surgeon who has been honoured by Parliament."
The issues raised against Venugopal in today's meeting include outbreak of dengue and anti-reservation protests on the campus.
"If there is an outbreak of dengue in Delhi, it is the minister's fault and he should take the blame," Malhotra said.
