Health Minister or IPHB Case? Goa Deserves Answers
Panjim : Is Vishwajit Rane truly fit to serve as Goa’s Health Minister or is he better suited for evaluation at the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (IPHB)? His increasingly erratic and unstable behaviour raises serious concerns about his ability to responsibly oversee the state’s health system.
The shocking incident at Goa Medical College (GMC) — where Vishwajit Rane chose to publicly humiliate a senior doctor on camera — was not a “surprise inspection.” It was a disgraceful display of arrogance and authoritarianism. Doctors, who dedicate their lives to serving humanity, deserve dignity and respect — not public shaming by a minister intoxicated by power.
Such actions are not just unbecoming of a cabinet minister; they are symptoms of deeper psychological instability that must not be ignored. The health and morale of Goa’s medical fraternity are at risk under such leadership.
We demand that Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant immediately direct Health Minister Vishwajit Rane to undergo a full mental health evaluation at IPHB. Goa’s healthcare system is already under strain — it cannot afford a minister whose conduct borders on dangerous.
We stand in solidarity with the medical community and assure them that Goa Congress will not remain silent while power is misused to demean those who serve the people of Goa.
