Azad writes to MCI board, wants it to be fair and transparent

Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has asked the board of governors of the Medical Council of India (MCI) to be absolutely transparent, and fair and free in their decisions.
In a letter addressed to S.K. Sarin, the chairperson of the board, the Minister assured the MCI of all help from the Ministry and said that instructions had been issued to officials not to interfere in the functioning of the MCI.
Mr. Azad drew the attention of the board to touts, being used by the managements of some institutions to get clearance for the colleges by illegal means. He said these touts collect money from interested institutions in the name of the government, office-bearers and MCI members, thereby bringing a bad name to everyone.
“As such, I would like you to caution the members of the newly constituted board of governors that they have to be vigilant and keep their eyes open since their every step is being watched by the entire country with high expectations,” the letter said.
