Mizoram Chief Minister Zormathanga apologizes after daughter’s attack on doctor

Aizawl: Mizoram Chief Minister Zormathanga apologizes has issued a public apology for his daughter’s “misbehavior” with a doctor earlier in the week.

Chief Minister Zoramathanga said in an Instagram post on Saturday that he would not justify his daughter’s behavior in any way.

Zormathanga’s daughter Mailari Chhangte was recently seen beating up a doctor at a clinic in an alleged video clip that went viral on social media.
The incident sparked outrage in the medical community, with more than 800 doctors protesting on Saturday condemning the alleged assault.
Members of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) – Mizoram chapter registered their protest by wearing black badges at their workplaces during the day.

Zormathanga apologizes after daughter Changte on Wednesday allegedly attacked the Aizawl-based dermatologist after she was asked to make an appointment before going to the clinic for consultation.
“We want such acts of violence against medical practitioners to never be repeated,” the Mizoram chapter of the association said in the statement.

The CM said in an Instagram post that he went to a dermatologist and offered forgiveness.
He also thanked the IMA for not initiating any “harsh action” against Chhangte.

“We have nothing to justify or defend our daughter’s behavior towards the doctor. We apologize to the doctor and the public,” Zormathanga said.
