NAWABSHAH: Doctors demand justice

Published January 16, 2004

NAWABSHAH, Jan 15: The chairman and members of the Pakistan Medical Association and the People's Medical College Hospital Doctors' Action Committee have announced collective resignations if Dr Sadiq Siyal is not provided justice.

Talking to journalists at a press conference at the local press club on Thursday, Dr Qayoom Memon and others said the investigation police had done injustice to them.

They alleged that Khadim Hussain Zardari and his friends attacked and beat up Dr Siyal at his residence in the Doctors' Colony some days back and also tried to kidnap him on gunpoint but fled on his resistance.

They said the police refused to lodge an FIR and after the doctors boycotted out-patient departments, a case was lodged but the police did not arrest the main accused.
