Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz said that a murder FIR should be registered against Chief Minister (CM) Shahbaz Sharif instead of the doctors.
Addressing a press conference at Punjab Assembly on Tuesday, Riaz appealed to young doctors to end their strike immediately. Blaming the CM for the patients’ deaths, Riaz said that the CM should explain why he had not yet appointed a health minister.
“The Health Ministry is also being kept by the CM,” he said, adding, “Shahbaz Sharif himself is responsible for the death of patients.” Calling for an immediate release of detained doctors, Riaz called upon the chief justice to form an inquiry commission to probe the patients’ deaths.
