Impact
•All state Governments lose their nominee privilege.
•All state medical councils become subservient institutions.

   This black law takes away all the privileges of doctors and medical students. If this anti people legislation is allowed to become a law, it will not only be injustice to future generation of doctors it will also be a treason  against the people of India.
Black law

   The ulterior motive of this bill is to bring in indigenous medicine in an inappropriate way by diluting and controlling modern medicine: All by back door and deceit. It becomes the bounden duty of all of us to stop National Medical Commission Bill.
