  • Young doctors boycott hospital services across the country

    The Young Doctors’ Association (YDA) on Wednesday boycotted Out-Patient Department (OPD) services across the country, Daily Times reported.
    They are protesting against torture of their colleagues in Islamabad during a protest outside Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC).

    According to the YDA spokesperson, only emergency services are being provided at the hospital. The move comes a day after police manhandled their fellow doctors in the federal capital during a protest against National Licensing Examination (NLE).

    They criticised the government and the doctors said that this is the first time in the country’s history that the police brutally attacked doctors.

    The protests are causing severe difficulties to the patients coming to the hospitals.
    Services Hospital Lahore have suspended their services.

    In Faisalabad, the doctors from the YDA platform have suspended OPDs and also the operation theatre services at the Allied Hospital. They also staged a protest and strongly condemned the torture and arrest of their colleagues in Islamabad. They vowed not to accept NLE law at any cost.

    Hundreds of young doctors across the country have been protesting against the PMC. The doctors have demanded that the compulsion to sit the National Licensing Exam should be withdrawn.

    The Pakistan Medical Commission has announced that in order to practice in Pakistan, doctors will have to take a licensing exam after completing five years of education.

    Young doctors say the additional examination was unfair as they had already passed the same exam to obtain their MBBS degrees.

    On Tuesday, at least 20 doctors were arrested after they tried to enter the PMC building. The Islamabad police baton-charged the protesters.

    Greetings,*|MERGE1|*. It’s October 6. Happy Wednesday! 

    Singer Asim Azhar was doing his #AskAsim session on Twitter during Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook outrage. While answering questions, a fan told him about her ruined dress and he responded in a very cute way. He literally asked a Pakistani designer — Asim Jofa — to send her a brand new sari. Who does that? Now I want new clothes too. 

    One more update. I am still lost in the mountains, trying really hard to adjust my routine. I guess it will take some time. And yes I want to sleep a lot…thakkan hi nahin ja rahi ha.

    It is going to be sunny.

    What is the Opposition’s reaction? 

    Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari tweeted that the PPP will forcefully oppose the illegal extension in the tenure of Chairman NAB.

It is about Mark Zuckerberg and his friend Eduardo Saverin as they go through Harvard and to build the most successful social media platform ever, Facebook. It is a film about selfishness and where you can find yourself. You can have billions of dollars but you won’t have any friends. It’s an amazing film and I highly recommend it. Just get up and watch it.

    IBA reinstates expelled student who spoke out against alleged harassment on campus

    The Insitute of Business Administration (IBA) reinstated Mohammad Gibrail, a student who was expelled by the university administration a week ago for speaking out against the alleged harassment incident on social media.

    The decision was taken by IBA’s Executive Director (ED) of the institution S Akbar Zaidi after hearing the appeal against the Disciplinary Committee’s decision, which took place on September 29. Zaidi reinstated Gibrail as a student with immediate effect, as per Geo News.

    Jibran Nasir, the lawyer for Gibrail, confirmed that the student had been reinstated. He tweeted, “Congratulations to all students! Gibrail’s admission on appeal to [IBA, ED] has been restored unconditionally,” adding that the ED had also “committed reforms to make IBA safer, give students representation in admin affairs and expeditious and transparent inquiry into the harassment case”.

    During the hearing, Gibrail reaffirmed his respect for the IBA and the Executive Director and reportedly withdrew those parts of his appeal which were unrelated to his expulsion.

    On August 25, Gibrail had reported the alleged sexual harassment incident on a public Facebook post. He stated, “This was actually the incident of workplace harassment that took place in front of my eyes in IBA’s Finance Department where I saw a person whom, I inquired his identity late, named Tanveer yelled at a female employee of IBA in that Finance Department and burst on her.”

    After this, students of IBA started protesting against the administration to take notice of this issue. Despite looking into the matter, IBA’s Disciplinary Committee expelled Gibrail a few days after the incident.

    Delivering verdict in two months goes against rights of suspect: Zahir’s parents approach SC

    Zahir Jaffer’s parents have challenged Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) bail rejection by approaching the Supreme Court (SC), reported Geo News.

    Zahir is the prime suspect in Noor Mukadam’s murder case.

    Advocate Khawaja Harris filed a petition on behalf of his clients Zakir Jaffer and Asmat Adamjee, arguing that delivering a verdict in two months goes against the rights of the suspects and the principles of a transparent trial.

    According to the petition, a complete challan of the case has not yet been presented in the trial court, while the high court went beyond its jurisdiction by directing to complete the trial in two months.

    Furthermore, the petition argued that the police investigation was biased and not impartial. According to Zahir’s parents’ lawyers, the defendants will not be able to defend themselves properly in prison as it will be difficult for them to communicate with them being in prison.

    Last week, the IHC had rejected the bail pleas of both of Zahir’s parents and also ordered the court to complete the trial within eight weeks.

    However, in IHC’s detailed verdict, it was ruled that both Zakir and Asmat committed the crime of aiding Noor’s murder.
