An informal meeting of the committee on Thursday decided to task its subcommittee with fixing the date for summoning both the parties. Responding to Dr KC’s decision last week to launch his eighth hunger strike in two weeks if his demands related to cleaning up the medical education sector were not implemented, the CIAA issued a statement calling Dr KC “a lunatic who needs treatment”. The orthopaedic surgeon has accused Karki of unduly interfering in the medical sector.
A meeting of the subcommittee will on Thursday decide the date to summon them, said Committee Chairman Mohan Singh Rathour. The committee would then write to Karki and top CIAA officials to attend the meeting.
