Aizawl, Aug 20 (PTI) Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga tendered a public apology on his official Instagram handle on Saturday for her daughter’s misbehaviour with a doctor earlier in the week, and said that he would, in no way, justify her conduct.<\/p>\n
Milari Chhangte, the CM’s only daughter, was recently seen hitting a doctor at a clinic in a purported video clip that went viral on social media.<\/p>\n
The incident has sparked outrage among the medical fraternity, with over 800 doctors staging a protest on Saturday, condemning the alleged assault.<\/p>\n
Members of the Indian Medical Association (IMA)-Mizoram chapter, which helmed the protest, wore black badges to their work places during the day.<\/p>\n
Lalhlutthangi Hmar, one of the protesters, told PTI that Chhangte assaulted the Aizawl-based dermatologist on Wednesday on being asked to get an appointment prior to her visit to the clinic for consultation.<\/p>\n
We want that such acts of violence against medical practitioners should never be repeated, the association’s Mizoram chapter said in the statement.<\/p>\n
The CM, taking to Instagram, said that he had visited the dermatologist and offered an apology.<\/p>\n
He also thanked the IMA for not initiating any stringent action against Chhangte.<\/p>\n
“We have nothing to justify or say in defence of our daughter’s behaviour towards the doctor. We ask forgiveness from the doctor and the public,” the CM said.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Chhangte’s elder brother, Ramthansiama, had also issued an apology on social media, stating that her sister went out of control due to mental stress.<\/p>\n
Both Chhangte and the dermatologist could not be contacted for their reaction. PTI<\/p>\n
