HYDERABAD, March 13: The president of the Pakistan Medical Association, Sindh chapter, Dr Noor Mohammad Memon, has expressed shock and anger over the murderous attack on Dr Ali Jaffar Naqvi and his two colleagues in Karachi.

He assailed the law enforcement agencies for their failure to protect the lives of the citizens in general and the doctors in particular.

In a statement issued here on Wednesday, he said that the murders of Dr Aley Safdar Zaidi and Dr Muzaffar Samoon in Karachi and Dr Ghulam Ali Shaikh in Hyderabad and of about one hundred others during the past year in Sindh mostly on sectarian grounds were a blot on the society.

He said that a doctor believed in saving lives and added that it was a shame that the saviours of other’s lives were being deprived of their own lives at the will of the fanatics.

He called upon the people to raise their voice in support of the doctors.
