Kolkata, West Bengal: A social media post by Dr. P. K. Hazra, a senior cardiologist associated with Manipal Hospitals, has triggered a heated debate after he announced a ₹500 discount on consultation fees for patients who say “Jai Shree Ram” or display it at his private clinic in Ballygunge Phari, Kolkata.
The doctor clarified that the offer applies only at his private clinic and not at hospital facilities. He defended the move as a personal initiative, stating that he has previously offered free consultations and views this as a form of social contribution. He also said his ideological support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi influenced his decision, while asserting that the slogan is political in nature and not an ethical concern in his private practice.
The announcement has sparked widespread discussion over ethics in healthcare, political expression, and professional boundaries in medical practice.
