Dr Kafeel Khan Seeks To Serve COVID Patients At Gorakhpur Hospital, Writes To Yogi Adityanath For Reinstatement

Dr Kafeel Khan has written a letter to UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, requesting reinstatement at the Gorakhpur Hospital so that he can serve the citizens of the country during the COVID crisis, his letter states. 

Dr Khan was suspended after he tried to save children in the Gorakhpur Hospital in 2017 when the hospital ran out of oxygen. He was later given a clean chit in the case. In 2019, he was booked under the National Security Act (NSA) for a speech he delivered in Aligarh during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Here too, he was later cleared of all charges and released from custody. 

In his letter to CM Adityanath, Dr Khan said, “The second wave of Coronavirus has wreaked havoc in the whole of India. Despite the departmental action on the other doctors, their suspension has been terminated and service has been restored. On this basis, my suspension should also end. Give me an opportunity to serve the country in this epidemic, no matter even if you suspend again after the pandemic.”

He rued that even after writing to the Uttar Pradesh government 36 times, Dr Khan’s suspension has not been revoked.

He has also mentioned the order of Allahabad High Court in his letter.

“The court has freed him from corruption charges against him and had also asked to consider suspension withdrawal after 90 days. But even after 1300 days, my suspension has not been revoked. I want to serve the citizens of the country in this hour of crisis.”

Currently, Dr Khan is volunteering with a team of doctors under the banner “Doctors on Road” to spread Covid-19 awareness among the marginalised in the hinterlands to aid the fight against the deadly pandemic that continues to claim thousands of lives.

Referring to former BRD principal Dr Rajesh Mishra and maintenance in-charge Dr Satish Kumar, Dr Khan said that the departmental action has gone against them as well, but they have been reinstated.
