Make it compulsory to serve in government hospitals: DC Senthil bats for separate law
‘M Friends’ holds Iftar party for Wenlock hospital staff
Mangaluru, June 17: Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil said that like Israel where serving in army is mandatory for every citizen there, a law should be passed in India to make it compulsory to serve the patients in government hospitals.
Participating in ‘Eid Jalsa’, a celebration of Eid festival with the Wenlock hospital staff organized by the ‘M Friends’ at IMA hall here on Sunday, the DC said that general public along with the hospital staff and family members should join hands together to serve the patients in government hospitals. The government should make it a mandatory service. It is commendable that ‘M Friends’ has been providing food to the family members of the patients at the hospital, he said.
Wenlock hospital DMO Dr Rajeshwara Devi said that all religions preach the same thing that hungered person should be given food, thirsty should be given water and one who is under distress should be shown concern. M Friends organization has been following these principles through their works, he said.
Shanti Publication manager Muhammad Kunhi gave Eid message. M Friends president Muhammad Hanief Goltamajalu presided over the programme. Donors Baraka International School founder Ashraf, Mohemmad Muhsin, Hanief Ibrahim Coimbatore and BK Fahad who donated for the Karunya scheme and cook Souhan were felicitated on the occasion.
Hafiz Shamil Abdul Khader Goltamajalu read Quran. M Friends Group admin Rasheed Vittla welcomed. Member Ahmed Mustafa Goltamajalu compared the programme, while treasurer Abubakar Notari proposed vote of thanks.

Bose questioned the expenditure in the post X, “when Everyone knows RSS is Not Registered & Does not Pay any Tax is it justified to spend Tax Payers Money on such Private event??”
Reacting to the development, Karnataka’s IT-BT and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge also criticised the spending.
In a post on X, he asked why public money was being used for what he described as a “private ideological project.”
"Modi Sarkar spent Rs 76,13,129 of public money on newspaper advertisements to celebrate 100 years of the RSS. Why is Government spending taxpayers money on an unregistered, non-tax-paying organisation to celebrate their centenary?," he added.

According to reports, the RSS describes itself as a volunteer-based organisation and has stated that it functions as a body of individuals rather than a registered entity.
Founded by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in 1925, the organisation is marking its centenary year beginning from Vijaydashami in 2025, with the milestone observed on October 2.
