In a country like India, where we worship doctors as gods, Jammu and Kashmir Minister Chaudhary Lal Singh has gone a step forward and dared to adjust the collar of a woman doctor. While the photograph of this image is going viral on social platforms, one question is still bothering me How dare he do this??

The Health Minister of J&K has gone to the government hospital in Lakhanpur to check the preparations ahead of Amarnath yatra. While taking rounds in the hospital, he found that the collar of the doctor was not proper and corrected it (can't he tell her to adjust it?)

A senior officer who witnessed the whole episode said that the Minister moved to the doctor and said 'Bitiya your collar is not proper and corrected it by himself.' And what's more, another woman doctor who was witnessing all this, tried to adjust her collar as well. He further added that the Minister was not trying to inappropriately touch the doctor.

This is not the first time that the Minister is in news for his 'so called justified' behaviour with a doctor. A woman doctor has accused the Minister of mental harassment for not wearing the apron (after he debunked her).

After all this, all I want to say where are all our Minister's heading? Women empowerment? Only they know....
