Ramadoss clarifies, blames media

 

Patna, (Bihar Times): Blaming the media for misquoting him on the issue Union health minister Dr A Ramadoss has clarified his recent comment that a doctor from Bihar who did not know where a spleen is in a human body, was the sole reason for de-recognition by United Kingdom of Indian medical degrees in the 1970s.

In a letter written to his cabinet colleague and railway minister, Lalu Yadav and Bihar chief minister, Nitish Kumar, Ramadoss wrote that Bihar is the land of the Buddha and “I am an ardent admirer of the scholarship and wisdom propagated by the great Nalanda University in the ancient period.”

The letter said that he was proud of the contributions made by the great political leaders and social justice pioneers of Bihar like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia and Karpoori Thakur.

It needs to be mentioned here that Lohia was not from Bihar, but east Uttar Pradesh.
