PMA President Prof S Tipu Sultan, along with a delegation of doctors from the PMA, addressed a press conference at the PMA House and expressed their anguish over the hundreds of doctors who were brutally attacked by security forces as they staged peaceful demonstrations for the recovery of their colleague, Dr Saeed Khan.
They said several doctors were critically injured including some senior lady doctors. More than 100 doctors were arrested and locked up in police stations.
Along with their demand for Raisani’s resignation, the PMA insisted upon the release of all arrested doctors and withdrawal of cases lodged against them. They also demanded an unconditional apology from the government of Balochistan, immediate recovery of kidnapped doctors, and arrest of all criminals, kidnappers and murderers.
If their demands are not met, doctors all over Pakistan will protest, warned the PMA leaders.
The doctors added that the PMA is extremely concerned about recent activities of the regime and pledge full support to the doctors of Balochistan under all circumstances.
