DEMO: A large number of political activists and social workers held a protest demonstration in Sehwan against the medical superintendent of the Bhan Saeedabad Hospital for issuing wrong certificate of fracture to a person.

They were led by the taluka president of the Pakistan People’s Party-SB, Ayub Solangi, taluka president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, Ahsan Rind, and Abadgar Ittehad president Inaam Channa.

Two of the protesters, belonging to the Rodhnani tribe, attempted self-immolation by sprinkling kerosene on their bodies. However, the other protesters saved them.

Talking to the demonstrators, Mr Solangi said the medical superintendent and other hospital staff had issued wrong certificate to a Rodhnani tribesman after a clash between two groups of the tribe over a matrimonial matter in the Bhan Saeedabad town.

Mr Channa said a medical board should be constituted to investigate the matter.

Gul Sher Rodhnani said the MS had demanded Rs20,000 and on refusal he issued the medical certificate of a fracture to the man.
