is it backstabbing by MOH?!

is it backstabbing by MOH?!
Dear friends
Namaste.
on 19-3-13,in Rajya sabha, hon.health minister mooted the Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Act, 2013" Bill to vested the power to MOH,in removing the elected president& vice-president from their respective posts, with out the intervention of the parliament.

Excerpts from the new bill:
a new section 30A in the Act relating to resignation by the President,
Vice-President and Members of the Council and the power of the Central Government
to remove from the office the President, Vice-President or a Member; and
(h) to insert a new section 33A in the Act relating to power of the Central
Government to give directions to the Council in the matters of policy and for making
any regulation.
No doubt,its a blatant hijacking of the autonomosity and sanctity of the elected MCI body.
few other amendments:
1.The enrolment of a person as a medical practitioner on the Indian Medical
Register or the State Medical Register shall be valid for a period of ten years from the
date of such enrolment:
Provided that a medical practitioner who has completed ten years of enrolment,
may apply to the Council for renewal of his enrolment immediately after the
commencement of the Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Act, 2013, within a period
of twelve months in such form, in such manner and with such fees, as may be prescribed.
2.The decision of the Central Government whether a question is one of policy
or not, shall be final.--its against the democratic norms and in tune with dishelved NCHRH.
