Medical students pursuing MBBS from China to protest on May 29

The plight of the Indian medical students pursuing MBBS from China continues, they called for a mass gathering at Jantar Mantar on May 29, 2022.

With no solution seems soon for the Indian medical students pursuing MBBS from China, the organisations including Indian Students in China (ISIC) and Foreign Medical Graduates Parents' Association (FMGPA) have called for "Chalo Dilli", a pan-India mass gathering at Jantar Mantar on May 29 from 10 am to 4 pm.

The protest aims to raise awareness of the uncertainty faced by these students because of the pandemic induced circumstances and also to mobilise the Central government to take accommodative action.

The Covid-19 situation is much under control now, however, China is not ready to call all these students back to their land. The Indian government has raised this issue multiple times but China has not allowed the return of these students. Though, the Chinese government has paved way for a few students but majority of students are still stranded in the country.

Mass gathering at Jantar Mantar

Nearly 300 students and their parents from all across the country are expected to gather at Jantar Mantar on May 29.

Mohammad Sageer, Joint Secretary of FMGPA said, "We want the government to diplomatically push for the students to be allowed back in China. This is our foremost point of concern. Secondly, we urge the NMC to accommodate students for clinical practice alone in India till the time they are allowed to go back to China," as reported by Edex.

"The situation is so dire that people are even considering letting their investment in fees go to waste and instead choose other options at home in India. We are seeking a meeting with the NMC so that we can directly represent the concerns that we have with them," said the All India Students' Coordinator of the Indian Students in China community.
