Recently, Mr Cameron and his colleagues were taken aback when the doctor ordered them to leave his ward. Last month, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani visited Jinnah Hospital in Karachi. His aim was to inaugurate a new emergency department that had already started working. What happened in Jinnah hospital was very shocking for the nation. As Mr Gilani reached the hospital, patients were taken out of the new emergency department and shifted to some rooms at the back end of the hospital. No one was allowed to enter or exit the hospital.
Now compare both the incidents. In Britain, the surgeon was not afraid of Mr Cameron as he was on his duty. Could the same incident take place in Pakistan with Mr Gilani? Either they would be terminated from their jobs or an inquiry committee would be formed against them.
It is a great pity that there is no rule of law. This is Pakistan where every thing is possible. Children are born in rickshaws due to VIP movement.
