New Delhi: Agitating anti-reservation doctors tonight charged they were 'backstabbed' by the UPA-Left co-ordination committee's 'outrageous' decision to introduce OBC quota from next year and resolved to continue their strike.

"There is no chance of going back. The strike will continue," said Amitasha Sinha, a student of Lady Hardinge Medical College and representative of Youth for Equality told spearheading the agitation.

She alleged the government has backstabbed' them with its decision to implement the quota for OBCs in the academic year beginning June 2007.

"For the past ten days, they have been beating around the bush. The government has been playing with us by assuring an amicable solution and announcing something else," Sinha said.

Another representative of the Forum termed the government decision "outrageous". "The decision is outrageous and audacious," Dr Shashmit Sarangi told sources.

After the UPA-Left announced their decision, the striking doctors went into a huddle to discuss its ramifications.
