The doctors are upset that at least 700 medical degrees are pending with Ramadoss for his signature - a bureaucratic delay that is affecting their chances of going abroad for further studies or work. [link]
According to Newsweek:This is the latest in the tug of war between the Health Ministry and India's top medical institute, which is getting fierce by the day.
The AIIMS faculty is up in arms against Ramadoss, protesting a bill that will enable the removal of their director P Venugopal.
In a recent AIIMS faculty association meeting, over 200 senior doctors decided to petition Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop Ramadoss from passing the AIIMS amendment bill that will bring changes to the AIIMS Act 1956.
The premier AIIMS has been described by Newsweek magazine as a medical "oasis of the poor" and treats at least 8,000 people every day. Patients from across the country avail treatment here for a nominal fee.Respect needs to be earned, quotas or life stories won't work in that area.

It would be interesting to investigate Anbumani's academic record to find out how good a student he really was. The free-reign that MMS has given to porukkis like Anbumani Ramadoss is yet another blot on the hypocrite's copybook. Isn't it interesting that bootlickers like Tarun Tejpal and Vinod Mehta are silent about the real punks like Anbumani? Meanwhile down South, back at the ranch, Ramadoss Sr., the original punk whose party laid waste to 100s of trees on the GST road in the first comunal riot in TN (spearheaded on behalf of a particular community) now talks of throwing "outsider" run firms like Tata (titanium project) and Reliance Fresh out of TN. Doesn't the moron realise his son too is an 'outsider' in New Delhi?
Who the hell cares for this Ramadoss nitwit to sign or put his thumbprint on the passing certificates. University is going ahead anyway with/without his signature. The public humiliation most suitable for this fool.
Let the court go to SC, he'll eat the humble pie yet once more.
It looks like certificates are being issued without his signature. Now he is claming that without his signature the certificates are illegal.
