YDA strike: Government wants LHC order reviewed
The review petition filed through Advocate General Punjab read that the order issued by Justice Ijazul Ahsan left many questions which needed to be answered.
The petition further said that the court had issued directions on matters to be taken up by a services tribunal.
The government stated that the order also gave an impression that doctors could not be booked in any case as they enjoyed immunity under the Punjab Health Care Commission Act, 2010. It referred to a recent incident where young doctors tortured a Special Branch’s personnel at the Services Hospital and also held him in illegal detention. Whether the doctors also enjoy immunity against registration of a case of such incidents, the petition questioned.
The review petition further pointed out that the petitions heard earlier by the court had sought action against the young doctors and cancellation of their licenses but the court, ignoring the prayer, extended relief to young doctors, which was never sought by anyone.
The government requested the court to clarify its July 7, 2012, order explaining the queries mentioned in the review petition.

If LHC's orders were based on inaccurate judgement, Doctors should continue the strike as part of the order was to end the strike.
Shehbaz sharif is a dictator. He is against literate and educated people and government workers. Geo Young Doctors...........
@kemc Doctors came back to job with their demands unmet, tell me whose defeat is this
Shahbaz Sharif aka khadim-e-aala has set a new record of continuous health sector crisis in the last three years.. from dengue to spurious medicines causing death to poor handling of young doctors strike, there is no end to his failure stories..
hats off to young doctors!!! you are the voice of all the suppressed people of Pakistan who don't know how to snatch their rights from the corrupt maafia of politicians, judiciary, army and bureaucracy.. if all the working class struggle for their right taking inspiration from you, these oppressors will not stand a second chance and Pakistan would turn into a welfare state!!!
Kudos to Shahbaz Sharif for taking on Doctors Mafia!
we demand contempt of court order issued against the Punjab Govt for questioning court orders. Furthermore, the special branch personnel was disobeying the court order when he was spying and harassing the young doctors living in the doctor's hostel. we want to know what action was taken against him??? Also not a single death occurred during 2 weeks of outpatient strike but the police torture and arrest on the young doctors prompted them to withdraw emergency service.. Should not an action be taken against the Punjab Govt for all the deaths which occurred due to its state terrorism??
