Srinagar, Oct 24: The faculty of Government Medical College Srinagar is aghast over the return of a tainted medico and former Medical Superintendent of the GB Pant Hospital, Dr  Javed Chowdhary with a liberty to serve as a professor in the College.
 Medical Faculty Association (MFA) said the faculty in the Pediatric Department of GMC has decided to go on ‘protest leave’ in case the order is not revoked.
 “We are disturbed as government has brought back a tainted medico to the prestigious college even when there are serious allegations against him with enquiry still pending,” Dr Sajad Qazi, General Secretary of MFA said in a statement. “How can a government be so liberal with tainted official after witnessing a messy situation in the GB Pant Children Hospital during his tenure as HOD and MS?” Dr Qazi questioned. According to Dr Qazi the faculty members of Pediatric Department including Professor, Associate Professors, Asstt Profs and Lecturers today submitted a memorandum to principal GMC Srinagar, Prof Rafiq Pampori seeking the revocation of the government order.
