Jawaharlal
Nehru University Student Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar has been called nearly every name under the sun.
'Anti-national', 'terrorist', 'separatist', 'rabble-rouser'... the list is virtually endless.
We say 'nearly' and 'virtually' for two reasons:
Firstly, no one on the news desk can recall at this time whether
or not anyone ever referred to him as Zenobia or Shaniqua.
And secondly, because he has never been referred to as a
doctor... until now, that is.
But first, a bit of background.
The man whose tortured
visage adorned our
television screens for a large part of this year is set to make his first
public address in Mumbai on Saturday. The fairly obscure Veer Sena and a group
of fellow right-wing organisations have taken it upon themselves to apparently
prevent Kanhaiya from 'spoiling the city’s atmosphere', with their vow to
stop him. In
a press conference organised by the Hindu Janjagruti Samitee,
Veer Sena leader Niranjan Pal made the usual noises about Kanhaiya being
'anti-national', shouting 'slogans against the country' and how his address
could 'create (a) law and order situation in the city'.
Then things took a turn for the bizarre.
"Kanhaiya who threatened to break the country is trying to
become a doctor by completing his PhD," said Niranjan, adding, "I do
not know how will he provide service to his patients, diagnose them and carry
out operations."
When
alerted to the fact that Kanhaiya is actually pursuing a PhD in African Studies
and not an MBBS, the Veer Sena leader was unmoved, and likely unconvinced that
it should make any difference.
Sure enough, The Hindu quoted
a nonchalant Niranjan as asking, "So? He will become a
doctor anyway and patients will approach him."
These statements have undoubtedly earned Niranjan ridicule from
all quarters, so instead of joining the chorus, we'd like to help him out with
a list of other doctors.
Here goes...
Dr Manmohan Singh: Anaesthesiologist
Dr Mahesh Sharma: Sexologist
Dr Ratan Tata: Neurologist
Dr Shashi Tharoor: Psychiatrist
Dr Vijay Mallya: Proctologist
There's plenty more, but we think you get the idea.
Oh, The
Hindu also
quoted Vaibhav Raut of Hindu Govansh Raksha Samiti as
saying, “According to us he (Kanhaiya) should not be allowed to live in
India.”
Thanks for that(!) As if
enough doctors weren't leaving India already.
