Sajad Lone Accuses NC Of Betrayal Over Assembly Resolution

Just two weeks after taking his oath in February this year, he had landed in a controversy after a woman doctor filed a complaint against him, accusing him of mental harassment amounting to outraging modesty.

The complainant alleged that she was standing with other hospital staff when the minister walked towards her and asked her why wasnt she wearing her lab coat. To this, she replied that as it was a social function she thought it was not required. The minister, according to the complainant, shouted at her and said, it is an official function.

The doctor said she informed the minister that at times psychiatrists dont wear their coats even in hospital wards, so as to make their patients feel comfortable around them. But, she alleged, the minister shouted at her and said, Who has invited you here?

He snapped his fingers at me and said: Tumhara Kaam Ho gaya, chalo niklo bahar the doctor said in her complaint.
