AN APPEAL TO IRIA VOTERS
Dear friends
Greetings to all for the festival season ahead.
1. All of you are aware that election to the various posts of our beloved organization, IRIA is underway at the present moment. You will cast your e vote or postal vote in the near future.
Having observed the working of the IRIA from a closed quarter, we sincerely feel that we need people with dedication, experience and track record of propriety, impartiality and transparency to run the organization.
2. You have experienced the pain last year, when Dr. Deepak Patkar, one of the tallest and noblest radiologists in IRIA, who got a comprehensive mandate of voters, was not installed as president elect in the national conference. Instead a coterie of people at the helm of office stalled the electoral process on presumptive grounds. They sat on the chair and misguided the CCM to obtain permission for re e-voting on a black December Sunday. Their evil designs were defeated only by court intervention. Your money amounting to 16 lakh rupees was wasted to subvert the democratic process and the constitution. The reasons for this condemnable action are known to all of you, wherein the personal agendas overtook the welfare of members.
3. It is our duty to ensure that we do not see a repeat of these events in future and punish all those who sat on dias on that black Sunday, when constitution was forced to become subservient to personal agendas and ambitions. These forces are in electoral fray again directly or through their proxies. We have to ensure that they do not occupy the chairs meant for people who hold the organization in esteem and respect the constitution.
4. In our personal opinion the team “Radiology for Radiologists " fits the bill perfectly. Dr. M P Goyal, the candidate for president elect, Dr. Harish Chandak , Dr. V R Rajendran candidates for vice president and Dr. Vinit Nanda , candidate for treasurer are very experienced senior people with clean image and excellent track record at state and central level . There is no allegation of favoritism or impropriety against them. We need these people to work along with our leader Dr. Deepak Patkar in the coming year. This team working with synergy and purpose will hopefully heal still festering wounds of IRIA, as even now the member’s welfare does not seem to be the priority of the organization.
We therefore, most humbly request all of you to vote for team “Radiology for Radiologists “to strengthen the hands of Dr. Deepak Patkar and bring IRIA back on track
Sincere regards
Dr M. P. Goyal and Team
