The doctors emphasised that their fight is not against the public, but by and for the public.
Dr Sayantani who spoke to ANI on the hunger strike said, "Till the time our demands of justice on humanitarian grounds is not fulfilled, we will sit here. Before her rape and murder, Abhaya went through multiple threats. Anyone could have been 'Abhaya'. It is our responsibility that there is no more Abhaya. This is not a fight against the public, this fight is by and for the public."
"On one hand, we are sitting on a hunger strike, while on the other we see a minor girl was raped and murdered. Many cases similar to RG Kar have happened after 9 August, still, all doctors except the six of us sitting here, have gone back to their duties to ensure no one faces any trouble during Navratri," she said.
