The IMA on Sunday announced a mass petition movement from February 15-March 31 against a Central Council of Indian Medicine notification that authorises post-graduate practitioners in specified ayurveda streams to perform general surgical procedures.

The doctors' body also said that this notification will lead to "mixopathy" and demanded its immediate withdrawal.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) had held a pan-India relay hunger strike from February 1-14 on the issue. The "impractical, unscientific and unethical notification" should be immediately withdrawn, it
said in a statement, adding that besides the petition movement, it will also spread awareness on the notification.

The IMA also announces non-cooperation movement "henceforth in which modern medicines surgeons and anesthesiologists shall not cooperate with AYUSH persons training and performing surgery", it said.
