Maharashtra doctors have criticised Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut's alleged remarks against the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the medical profession, though the politician denied the charges on Monday. In a chat on a television channel, Raut had reportedly commented on the WHO and raised questions on the doctors vis-a-vis compounders.

"The WHO is a useless organisation, because of which the Covid-19 pandemic came," he allegedly said Irked by the statements, the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) protested while the Indian Medical Association-Maharashtra (IMA-M) on Sunday passed a resolution to condemn Raut's alleged statements.
