On streetcorners, blogs and airwaves, Indo-Canadians slam Indian medical system for the latest organ racket
TORONTO: As global hunt continues for Amit Kumar, the kidney scamster has become the talk of town for Indo-Canadians across the country. In radio chat shows and street chats, they blamed the Indian system for letting “a criminal like Dr. Amit Kumar to operate with impunity”.
Taking a dig at the nation’s medical system, many asked why he was allowed to practice after he was convicted in a previous kidney scam in 1993. What was the Indian Medical council doing, they asked. “Thanks to its leaders and bureaucrats, India will never be free from corruption, and people will never learn to respect the rule of law,” said a businessman in Brampton.
Callers to Radio India talk show in Vancouver said that Amit Kumar knew the safest place on this planet for a fugitive like him is India.
Calling the global hunt for him “a big ruckus”, many speculated that he might be hiding somewhere in India and would resurface when he thinks he can save his skin. Laypeople were of the view that the Gurgaon police should be investigated first for letting this crook run his dubious kidney network.
“Why don’t they turn around and grill these Delhi - or whatever - cops who are now giving the impression of doing a great job? They should be the first to be hanged,” opined an Indo-Canadian working in a departmental store in Mississauga.
They also wondered how the Indian police gave him a clearance to apply for immigration to Canada. Virtually every caller and street talker wanted the kidney kingpin to be thrown out of Canada and stripped of his ill-gotten wealth. Canada should have stringent laws to stop this kind of criminals from taking shelter here, they said.
Asked if he knew anyone who had kidney transplant by Kumar, they shrugged it off. “Do you think any Indo-Canadian will ever tell you that he had a transplant? Indians still attach stigma to these things. It is as a dirty secret. We will know the truth only when this man is caught and beaten blue and black by Indian cops to blurt out the truth,” said a trucker in Mississauga.
