Strongly condemn the order by the N.S of GBPH Delhi denying speaking Malyalam. This is a typical harassment on linguistic basis and creating apartheid on the basis of language. We need an apology from the concerned. @CMODelhi @CMOKerala @SatyendarJain pic.twitter.com/NnUIvJ8KGz

However, the government order was later withdrawn stating that the order was issued without the instructions or knowledge of the hospital administration and Delhi government.

Thanks to all those supported in our agitation against the controversial order issued by N.S, GB PANT HOSPITAL on 5/6/2021.
