The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has demanded an apology from actor Aamir Khan for sending a "wrong message" about the
medical community in his programme "Satyamev Jayate". But lyricist Javed Akhtar doesn't approve of it and calls it a "sick"
decision
"The Indian Medical association wants Aamir to apologise for exposing corruption in their profession. That is really sick," Akhtar
posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
After highlighting social issues like female foeticide and dowry, Aamir, in the fourth episode of his show, put the spotlight on
healthcare and malpractices in the medical profession. Reacting to the episode, an umbrella body of 21 medical institutions
Wednesday asked the actor to apologise.
"It is not Aamir Khan but some immoral dishonest greedy and corrupt doctors who are insulting the medical profession and many
honest doctors," wrote Akthar.
