[LIS-Forum] MLAI Membership Denied - What to do?

[R.K.SHUKLA]

Rejecting the candidature of Mr. Sukhdev for membership of MLAI is realy 
shoking who one else india is serving better than Mr. Sukhdev to medical 
community by adopting and propagating the means of open access.
Although I am not aware of the constitutional requirement of membership of 
MLAI however i f there is any restriction the constitution of MLAI should be 
amended to accomodatate such persons . I hope executive of MLAI will take 
n.a in this direction
