The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) on Monday condemned the harassment of Medical Officer Dr Ijaz by Lodhran Station House Officer (SHO) Rao Luqman, who was trying to force Ijaz to issue a fake medico-legal certificate. The PMA Punjab chapter has announced full support for the strike announced by the PMA Lodhran and appealed to Punjab Police Inspector General Javed Iqbal to take action against the SHO concerned and suspend him, otherwise doctors would be forced to launch a province wide protest. PMA office-bearers Dr Ashraf Nizami, Dr Akhtar Rashid, Dr Tanveer Anwar, Dr Izhar Chaudhry and Dr Salman Kazmi said that the Lodhran district police officer (DPO) was backing the SHO concerned and reluctant to take action against him.
