A union of government nurses today staged a protest here against alleged "derogatory" remarks and acts against them on a popular TV comedy show and demanded an apology from the artists who made such comments.
All India Government Nurses' Federation (AIGNF) today held the protest at Jantar Mantar here.
Earlier, AIGNF had written to I&B Minister Arun Jaitley and Health Ministry to direct the Censor Board to ensure such instances are not repeated and insisted that the footage of May 7 and May 8 episodes of the show, in which the alleged derogatory remarks were made, be removed from the internet.
"Every profession has its own sanctity, ethics and principles. We also know that laughter is good and a need for all. But it too has a limit and one shall not cross that limit," AIGNF secretary general GK Khurana said.
Referring to the episodes on May 7 and 8 and also May 15 when water was thrown on the face of a nurse by an actor, Khurana said these acts have hurt the sentiments of nurses working all over the world for humanity.
He further said that in the show, nurse's uniform was also insulted by dancing along with the cheer leaders.
