The journey of Dr Govinda KC through the eyes of our cartoonist
Dr Govinda KC is currently on his 16th hunger strike, demanding reforms in the country’s medical education sector. All his previous fast-unto-death protests—the first one of which took place in July 2013—have ended with the government promising to fulfill his demands, only to later renege on its commitments.Abin Shrestha
Dr Govinda KC is currently on his 16th hunger strike, demanding reforms in the country’s medical education sector. All his previous fast-unto-death protests—the first one of which took place in July 2013—have ended with the government promising to fulfill his demands, only to later renege on its commitments. Every time the government broke its promise, KC responded with his satyagraha. As KC’s non-violent resistance continues, the Post’s Abin Shrestha has compiled the cartoons that he has sketched over the years on the doctor’s protests, the government’s attitude, and what KC has described as ‘mafia influence’ in the medical education sector. They are as germane today as they were when published over the course of the last six years.
Can you shift a little Dr KC?...Our leader wants to sit here for lunch today.
Banner kept…banner removed…banner kept again…banner removed again… Now, the government has sent me to put this here permanently.
Your condition isn’t serious yet? I came here to discuss serious matters… Did I come too early, Doctor?
I would have spoken about Dr. KC…But today, I have taken a vow of silence.
Oh! Look, look! Our neighbors. I thought they were good people but they’re buying marsi rice!
